About this session

When I made the decision to leave a "good job" and take an indefinite amount of time off, I felt uncertain and received a lot of questions. Until I took the leap, I hadn't known how much I had needed the break and the time to reassess my priorities. When the time was right to explore employment, my intention was to answer essential questions that mattered to me instead of going on the "job hunt" in a traditional sense. Join me for this live Q&A and ask me anything about how I ultimately made my decision and what lead to my decision to take this role at Guru!

In this chat I want you to walk away with...

  1. Strategies for assessing your priorities
  2. Questions to ask yourself before taking your next role
  3. Confidence building strategies for when you need a little lift at work
