S8 Ep1: The CV Shift That Takes You from Operational to Leader

​"Your Path To Career Success"

Welcome back to Your Path to Career Success — the podcast that helps you build the skills, confidence, and strategies to thrive in your career.

We’re kicking off Season 8 with an episode that could completely change how you position yourself for leadership roles — starting with your CV.

If you’re feeling stuck in an “operational” box, even though you know you’re ready for more, this just over 16-minute episode will show you how to stop underselling your experience and start showcasing your leadership potential — on paper and beyond.

Because the truth is, leadership isn’t just about what you do — it’s about the difference you make.

And your CV needs to reflect that if you want to be seen (and hired) as a leader.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• Why listing responsibilities isn’t enough to get you noticed at leadership level
• The mindset shift that turns operational tasks into strategic impact
• 3 CV transformation tips to move from doer to decision-maker
• How to speak in outcomes, not activities — and why that’s key to standing out
• The one question every hiring manager is secretly asking (and how to answer it)

This episode is packed with real-life examples, rewording strategies, and a step-by-step approach to help you stop writing job descriptions — and start telling your leadership story.
