#113: Interview with Isabeau on strategies for making better career decisions

Have you spent so much time thinking through career choices that you could make but ended up making no decision at all? Sounds familiar? This is called analysis paralysis, which is very common among perfectionists.

In this episode, one of our PhDCS team members, Santoshi Devadas, had the pleasure to interview Isabeau Iqbal who helps ambitious perfectionists in higher education. She guides them to overcome analysis paralysis and move forward with their goals.

Isabeau is a certified career and life coach with more than 20 years of experience supporting academics and faculty members in their professional growth. In addition to her career services, she also has her YouTube channel where she regularly shares tips and tricks with her audience.

During the interview, Isabeau provides us with approaches to network efficiently, job searching strategies and ways to better know your values. She also shares the importance of knowing your strengths. Check out the episode resource section to find the links to the strengths assessments mentioned.

In the end, Isabeau left three main takeaway messages:

  • Take the initiative!
  • Network!
  • Get to know your values and strengths!

…" these seem quick tips but they require time investment from your side"... said Isabeau.

If you want to learn more about ways of overcoming your indecisiveness and taking the next step in your career, this episode is for you!

Enjoy it!
