-Life as a Career Strategist-
Part of our collective experience as humans is this appreciation for achievement. When we see it from the standpoint of others finding it, invariably it generates some sort of emotion such as respect, wonder, or even admiration.
Other times it can create less than rosy feelings, such as a bit of secret jealousy, frustration or even angst about one’s own accomplishments.
Either way, achievement does provoke feeling.
Not only that, it is a major driver of force and motivation for people the world over, who wish to experience it.
However, the truth is that at times, most of us need some support, advice and or direction to achieve many of those seemingly pie in the sky dreams we may have for ourselves.
One arena you can see all of this sentiment manifested is surely within the field of professional career development coaching.
Well on this episode we have a guest who specializes in that very craft. You’ll hear what this line of work is all about, what it takes to do it well and whether it could be for you!
