Changing careers while changing countries with Tania Yeo
Today I'm joined by the amazing Tania Yeo, a teacher turned copywriter who's living her best life in Tbilisi, Georgia. We're exploring how exactly she changed fields (and countries) and found her footing in a completely different industry. If you're considering a career change or just need a dose of inspiration, you don't want to miss this one!
Random Angie note: I seriously considered titling this one "Copywriters who travel with cats." I figured it deserved an honorable mention :)
Can't-miss moments:
- When you realize you don't want to be a nomad AFTER you've already moved: how Tania pivoted (and the surprising way it applies to decisions you make in your business)...
- Stalling by studying: is it a lack of skills holding you back, or fear? Check out the simple, straight-shooting piece of advice that changed Tania's entire career trajectory (it can work for you too, if you're brave)...
- "This is not a Sarah McLachlan commercial!" Tania and I get off on a hilarious tangent about the reality (and interesting advantages) of traveling with cats...
- How do you know when you're qualified enough? Tania and I rant about focusing on all the wrong things (and what to do instead of racking up the right amount of "time on the job")...
- Trying to get on the radar of a bigwig or big name in your space? Check out my and Tania's advice on the right AND wrong ways to get a guru's attention...
Tania's bio:
I'm a former Art and Literature teacher from Singapore who's now a financial copywriter currently based in Tbilisi. I'm passionate about helping transitioning teachers from all over the world become copywriters - you can hear all about it on my podcast, Classroom to Copy. In my free time, I make art, obsessively try to recreate Southeast Asian food at home, hike, and soak up the beautiful culture and history of Georgia.
