For years, Navid Nazemian was the one guiding leaders through big changes ... C-suite appointments, career pivots, and organisational upheaval. As an executive in global HR and the author of Mastering Executive Transitions, he built a reputation for helping others navigate uncertainty with clarity.
But then, life brought a transition of his own.
In this powerful episode, Navid opens up about the personal and professional reckoning that led him to walk away from a high-flying corporate career and step into the unknown. He shares what it really takes to leave behind an identity you’ve spent decades building ... and how you start again with intention, purpose and courage.
We explore the hidden emotional cost of transition, the gender gap in leadership support, and the surprising truths that emerge when the expert becomes the one in need of guidance.
This isn’t just a conversation about change. It’s a masterclass in what it means to transform.
