About this listen

In this final episode of the "Little Moves Big Careers" podcast, host Caroline Esterson shines a spotlight on drift - the quiet career killer that shows up when you’re doing the tasks but losing direction. She challenges listeners to cut through the noise and embrace intentionality in their careers. Whether you're mid-pivot or feeling stuck, Caroline offers practical advice on making deliberate choices that can transform your professional journey. Discover the concept of the "two millimetre difference" and learn how small, intentional shifts can lead to significant outcomes.

Tune in for a mix of cheeky games, career insights, and actionable strategies to help you stand out and build a career you're proud of. Don't miss this mic-drop moment as we wrap up the season with a call to action: make your next move, no matter how small, with purpose.

Key Concepts Covered:

  • Burnout isn't a weakness. It's a signal that your current strategy is unsustainable.
  • Clarity comes from movement, not more overthinking or 3 am job board spirals.
  • The 2mm Difference: Small, intentional shifts that radically alter your career trajectory
  • Intentionality over effort. It's not how much you do; it’s how you do it that gets noticed.
  • Micro-choices build macro momentum. Stop aiming for the leap. Start with the tilt.

By the end of this episode, you’ll:

  • Know how to spot the difference between effort and intentionality
  • Understand why “going with the flow” is terrible career advice
  • Have one simple coaching question to ask yourself when you feel stuck
  • Get inspired to make one move (today) that points toward the life you actually want

Listen Now If You:

  • Feel like you’re working hard but going nowhere
  • Are constantly overwhelmed and thinking of quitting
  • Want to rebuild focus, energy, and career direction without a full reset
  • Need a bold nudge to stop drifting and start deciding
