Today my guest is Chris Spurvey. He is based in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, and a graduate of Memorial University, where I also went to school. We connected through a piece of content I posted online about maybe six months or a year ago. He has been helping me build my coaching business and a series of other things.

He had many pivots and done many reinventions throughout his career: from a marketing desk job out into the world of sales. He joined a consulting company and later on built his independent consulting business. He is also the author of the best-selling business book, It’s Time to Sell: Cultivating the Sales Mind-Set.

Topics covered:
01:45 Chris’s reasons for his career pivots
04:20 Chris’s career transition story
07:35 Expose yourself to new things
13:25 Outgrow your current environment
18:25 Use intuition when making career-changing decisions
23:57 See “failure” as an opportunity to learn
28:28 How Chris moved from working in a consulting company to building his independent consulting business
32:28 Turning negativity into creativity
34:46 Chris’s career-switching advice: Make the best and highest use of yourself
38:21 Coaching and mentoring are worth your investment
