Digestible content

The author did a great job executing easy and simple to do tasks on how to change careers. I’ve read many books that don’t exactly get to the point of what I’ve been searching for. This book provided valuable information on how I can move forward to the next chapter in my life. I’ve been stuck since 2018. I feel confident I can take the next steps to a career change and finish what I started with reduced fear.
I thank the author for her effort, personal experience, and knowledge she put into this book. I look forward to reading/listening to her other book.

Great book!

The author (also the narrator) provided a lot of useful tools to help you begin the journey of changing your career.

Not what I needed

This book starts out by assuming you already know what you want to do. That is the easy part. What if we are stuck in our careers but don’t know where to go? This book is not for you.
