Welcome to the third episode of the career transition series.
 
If you thought the first two episodes of this series were good, then you simply cannot miss this one.

In today's episode, Laura covers what is probably the toughest part when going through a career transition - working through what to leave behind and what to bring with you into your next experience. Often we skip over this important work and in the next role we find some of the same things (toxic work environment, never shutting off, etc.). 
This usually takes quite a bit of reflection and support if we want to successfully create space for new experiences and keep the momentum going while still living your values.

Listen in as Laura walks us through a practical exercise on how to navigate this season of your career and shares the strategy she recommends when transitioning into a new job.

So, what bags are you letting go of and what are you bringing with you into your new role? Reach out to Laura and let her know!
