For twenty years, I have been coaching people through career changes. Some of them have been laid off, and others simply want to move on to something different. I, myself, made a career change some years ago when I decided to leave consulting and become a Career Coach. I had been traveling for four years Monday through Friday, and I needed to have a better life balance, get back to my Christian connections in Chicago, my weekly prayer group, a small group Bible study, and just time for myself.
So, I took control of my work life.
I quit.
