As a career coach, one thing professionals don't do enough is take a break between jobs. At the very least, this episode will help you understand why and how to plan for even a short break.
Some career breaks are planned, like Katrina's experience, but others are necessary to care for family, children, illness, etc. I love the practical tips Katrina provides to help you start the process of taking a break.
I know some of you will think this isn't for you, but that is something we cover in this episode as well. We have an honest discussion about finances and privilege.
Main actions discussed:
- Discern if you need a break.
