Inspire Careers Spotlight Series

Are you earning well but still unsure how long you could comfortably survive a sudden job loss? Would your current financial plan support a career pivot without panic, pressure or poor money decisions? Career transitions hit executives differently. The income is higher, the lifestyle is bigger and the financial stakes are enormous. In this powerful episode, nationally recognised financial planner Nicholle Overkamp breaks down exactly how executives (especially women) can protect their wealth, stabilise cash flow and create financial clarity before, during and after a career shift.
