[Case Study] Overqualified And Wanting To Make A Career Change

[Case Study] Overqualified and Wanting to Make a Career Change It’s superb what you will get accomplished in 20 minutes when you could have structure and focus… For instance, I had a Coaching Call with a shopper (truly, that is the second time we’ve labored together) who has an exceptional track record in her advertising area of interest.

And, while all of this sounds GREAT, she wanted to make a change. So, we spent our time together outlining the “the way to” in terms of making her transfer.

And the sweetness is, whenever you’ve lined lots of floor, you've a number of areas from which to decide on. Her subsequent step?
