Have you ever worried about losing your job? Even if it was a job that was making you unhappy? Kirby Verceles went through some wild ups and downs when the small company she worked for was in the process of being acquired. The soul-searching that she immersed herself in at that time gave her the answers and direction she needed and she came out on the other side with a position so suited for her it almost seems as if it were created for her! Kirby shares her process of self discovery and reminds us that no matter how stressful things can get, if you keep your core strengths in sight, you will come out ahead!

Ok. Let’s talk. Today we’re digging deep into what’s REALLY stopping you from finding what you want in your career. Have you taken jobs because they were available?

Trouble is, most people think finding work that fits them starts with looking forward. We think it starts with looking backwards. Most people will work their entire careers without ever truly figuring out what makes them happy. We don’t want you to be most people. We’ll lay out the most common barriers to figuring out what you REALLY want and show you how to break through them! Grab our FREE 8-day course at figureitout.co!
