Published: May 26, 2020, 8 a.m.

In this episode, Christina Martini and Amii Barnard-Bahn discuss:

  • Becoming aware and creating coping strategies of your personal derailers.
  • Assessing your career in a time of uncertainty and what to focus on during your self-assessments.
  • Pivoting, developing, and growing through the journey to creating the life you love.
  • When to enlist an executive coach to improve your professional career.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • You have to make a shift - what got you to where you are will not get you to where you want to be.
  • You may not be able to move into where you want to be tomorrow, but you can start taking steps today.
  • Continue to develop relationships and connect with people, even during this uncertain time.
  • Luck is preparation meeting opportunity. Now is the time to prepare.

Try to see what excites you." \u2014 Amii Barnard-Bahn
