Last Update: 08th August,2019
Very often in my live courses, I run across a number of participants from the IT sector that all seem to have the same affliction. They feel that they have reached a career dead-end, and they are looking for a change of direction.
Your IT knowledge is a key asset if you are able to use it on the other side of the organization – the business side that is.
This is what the journey looks like.
Assessment: Do you know what you want to do? This might be the most difficult part. We have so many options. How do you make your decision? This chapter addresses these points.
Transformation Planning: Here, we spell out an approach of how you plan from moving where you are right now to where you want to be.
Prepare to Execute: This section looks at the steps you need to take to help you reach your career goal
Making the Change Happen: Our last part of this section covers the doing part.
Even if you are not in IT, the tips we present you in this course can be used by anyone who wants to make a career transition.

My journey started in Los Angeles but moved on to different venues after becoming an adult. My first trip to Europe was at 19, and it changed the direction my life would take.
After finishing university, I moved to Berlin but in an unconventional way. I bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong, not knowing how I would get to Berlin. China had just opened up the borders to individual tourists, so I ended up taking the Trans Siberian Railway through the Soviet Union, Poland, and then eventually West Berlin.
The goal was to stay only for 6 months. 2 years later, I moved from West Berlin to Vienna, where I eventually married a Viennese. We are in year 34 and counting.
We moved back to the US, where I started a career in customer service. Those learnings about customer satisfaction are still very much ingrained in me today.
We came back to Vienna right before the Berlin Wall fell, and it's been my home since. My career moved onto Project Management, Product Management, and Business Analysis, and I worked for different multi-national companies.
I felt that something was still missing, so I set up my own company 8 years ago and have ventured onto activities that I couldn't have imagined beforehand. There is one common thread in all I have done. I love helping people and enjoy making a difference in any way I can. This, simply, has been my driver.
In addition, I have been involved in the world of academia for over a year in teaching this course as well as a number of others. There is nothing more satisfying than helping people reach their potential.
