Direct answer
Don't erase it. Your previous path built the professional you are today, and deleting it hides part of who you are. The way forward isn't to break with the past, it's to let the new appear alongside it, showing the transition instead of pretending it never happened.
Andrea confesses in the episode: every time she logs into LinkedIn she wants to remove all her old titles, but she doesn't dare. Pedro lives the same dilemma. He has trimmed his experience, but the full break isn't there. Julia, who works with social media strategy, is categorical: she has never erased any client's path, because it is part of building that professional.
This deadlock relates to Movimento, the ECP dimension that turns awareness into choice. Changing careers isn't deleting who you were. It's integrating. Pedro sums it up well when someone asks who he is: who I was, who I am, who I will be.
How to make the transition without erasing
- Keep the past visible as origin, not as current identity.
- Highlight the new you, the recent courses, projects and directions.
- Let whoever looks understand the path, because the transition tells a story the title alone cannot.
Erasing is trying to control how others perceive you. Integrating is trusting that your experience, whole, is what holds you up.
