Too many people stay in careers or jobs they don’t enjoy, or where they are undervalued, when they could be doing something they love instead. That’s where career coaching is important, especially the Career Discovery process.

​

As Melita Long says “In my experience often people aren’t willing to change until the pain of the current situation outweighs the fear of change and the unknown.” 

​
