Career Coaching: Envy. Interestingly envy in others is a good sign. It means that you are doing what you are doing, well.

Career Coaching: You DO Know. Someone said to me at the weekend “I think our phones and screens have taken the place of our dreaming”. And, I fear she might be right. People come to work with me saying “I don’t know what to do that will satisfy me as a career”. The premise I work with […]
