Today, we have a fascinating guest on the show who believes that your career is much more than just a shiny resume. Anthony Kuo is a Career Satisfaction Coach with a unique perspective. He graduated from the prestigious NYU Stern School of Business in 2010 and embarked on an eight-year journey through the Fortune 500 corporate world, steadily climbing the ladder. However, Anthony's realization that he was filling his bank account but leaving his soul empty led to a profound transformation.
Drawing from his practical corporate experience and training as a Transformational NLP Practitioner, Anthony now guides his clients in a playful yet gentle manner through one of life's most essential questions: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
