EP 19: HOW TO QUIT YOUR DAY JOB & LAUNCH YOUR COACHING PRACTICE: Tips & Tricks to Take Your Career Shift to The Next Level with Krystal Hicks, JOBTALK, LLC.

 

In this episode my good friend Krystal Hicks shares her story of how she took the big step of leaving a full-time job to lead a more fulfilling life as a Career Strategist/Coach. 

 

Let me start by saying that this career shift didn’t come from disliking her full-time. It was the complete opposite! Krystal loved her job. She took her experience and passion to the next level. In search for a more meaningful path that was self-operated, fueled with purpose and having the ability to do it her way she launched JOBTALK, LLC. 

 

Now, don’t go running so fast to submit your resignation. It’s important that as you think about starting this new journey and writing this chapter you take the time plan, save, and hold yourself accountable. 

 

You Need To Map a Plan

Understand your values

Understand what your values mean to you

Find what full-fills you

What are you passionate about?

What do you feel is your purpose?

How will you make money

 

These are just some of the questions and thoughts you should be considering as you start to embark in the process of becoming self-employed.

 

The most important questions you should ask yourself is how will you serve and who will you serve? 

Answering these questions will help you gain clarity on who your avatar is and identify their pain point. 

 

Listen to Krystal’s story and journey that is so relatable and realistic to how anyone who has the dream to have their own business can have their own business. But you have to take risks, lean in with courage, learn what you’re worth and create the opportunity for yourself. 

 

We talk about money, expenses, start-up costs, and more. 

 

About Krystal  & How to Connect

Originally from Dover, NH,  Krystal graduated from UNH in 2007 with a BA in Journalism. As a born-and-raised Seacoaster, she stayed in the area and accidentally began her career in the employment sector when she fell backwards into an administrative role at a staffing firm in Portsmouth. She fell in love with the industry and soon moved into a Staffing Manager role, before transitioning into higher education career services. She obtained her Masters in Higher Education Leadership and returned to UNH, eventually becoming their Director of Career Services.  In 2016, Krystal was recruited by Lindt Chocolate USA and became their U.S. Recruitment Manager where she hired more than 220 people in 3+ years across all corporate functions of their U.S Headquarters.  Missing her career counseling roots, Krystal departed Lindt in April 2019 to launch JOBTALK, a career counseling practice that provides one-on-one job hunting support to individuals in transition, as well as employer branding consulting to companies.

 

Krystal also spent three years facilitating a pre-release employment program for inmates at the Strafford County Department of Corrections in Dover, and in 2017, was recognized as one of the Seacoast’s “10 to Watch" winners; a NH-based contest that recognizes young professionals who are active in the community and working towards economic development in the Seacoast.  She currently resides in Portsmouth, NH, and continues to teach her course, “College to Career: How to stand out in today’s job market” to undergraduate business students at UNH.
