# 227: Being Intentional About Your Career Gives You Choices with Janine Esbrand + Jaz Marfo

In this episode, I am interviewed by the amazing Jaz Marfo on her podcast, The Limitless Career Podcast, and we discuss how being intentional in your career gives you choices. Jaz is a successful coach, community manager, fellow podcaster and writer, who draws on experience from her wonderfully squiggly career journey to help others. Through Jaz’s private career coaching she helps high achievers carve out their unique career paths, emphasising the importance of strategy, intent and building relationships. Jaz’s parents were both multi-hyphenates (had multiple careers), which has influenced Jaz’s approach to work, and has taught her valuable skills, including networking, articulating impact, and negotiation skills. In this episode, I am honoured to appear on her podcast and we discuss the impact that mentors have had on our career journeys, and the importance of seeking guidance in order to succeed. We also discuss how to avoid being distracted by opportunities that do not align, and aware of emotions that can lead us away from our long term goals.  What you will learn:-        The value of mentors - Mentors can provide valuable insights and advice for navigating a career, and we discuss why seeking guidance is so important.-        The importance of intention - Intention and action are essential for achieving career goals, and help avoid the distraction of opportunities that don’t align.-        Being the CEO of your career - Taking on the role of CEO of your career means having a strategic plan and staying focused on long-term goals.LINKS:Connect with Jaz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jazmarfo/Visit Jaz's website: https://justjaz.co/Other episodes you may enjoy:Episode 215: How To Avoid Being Overlooked For Great OpportunitiesEpisode 204: How To Finally Stop Allowing Imposter Syndrome To Stunt Your Career Growth With Jaz MarfoTHIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE CAREER CLARITY ACCELERATORIf you are looking for support with finding career clarity so you can relaunch your career with confidence, join this program >> https://www.careerchangemakers.com/cca Support the show
