Why would you want to listen to this episode. Well, think about this for a second. We spend so much time at work. If you’re working normal 40 hour work weeks, then that’s more than 2,000 hours a year spent on using your skills to do something great for society. Imagine spending 2,000 hours on something you love and are great at vs. the thing that you absolutely hate doing.My point and the point of many of the greats including Bill Gates and Steve Jobs is, if we really truly want to be great and succeed, then we need to be moving to doing something that we love. And for this episode we’re getting a career coach’s expert opinion on how to do just that. Yes, we’re going deep! Today I brought on the amazing Emily Moyer. Emily Moyer is an Intuitive Career Strategist focused on helping ambitious women overcome limiting beliefs, uncover their purpose and craft strategic career plans so they can build careers they absolutely love. Previously, she served as the Head of Sales & Marketing for a VC-backed travel startup, leading a team of 30 remote workers based all over the world. She’s also a contributor at Forbes Coaches Council, an invitation-only organization for successful career coaches. Resources MentionedCheck out Emily's WebsiteFollow Emily at InstagramFollow usFollow Chris on LinkedInCheck Career Warrior Podcast on InstagramSubscribe to Let’s Eat, Grandma’s YouTube ChannelCheck out our Latest Product, Urgent Care Package Hosted on Acast.
