• In a recent post on LinkedIn, you say: “As a career coach, writer, and researcher, I’ve had the opportunity to observe key trends among thousands of professionals around the world, particularly about how they get stuck and stay stuck in careers they dislike, and how to effectively change directions to a new path that's more rewarding and successful.” How did the pandemic give pros the time to reflect and change up their career paths? 
• Can you point to folks in your network who’ve made a leap into the unknown and are so far thriving as a result?
