Favorite Quotes:

  1. If you aren’t clear, and your secret sauce transferable skills, the things that you’re naturally gifted and talented at that you drive a lot of energy drive a momentum from, and you’re not aligning your work with those things, you will end up making a move only to find more of the same or worse. You have to get at the root cause.
  2. Instead of focusing on really getting clear on what you want to do, you’re looking at what you think people will hire you for. Huge mistake.
  3. You must get clarity. You must understand your fulfillment framework, the things you truly need and want in your career and life in order to be fulfilled. That is getting at the root cause of truly understanding where your life is misaligned.
