In this episode, we discuss asking for help. There comes a time in the transition process where you may want (or need!) someone’s assistance. This comes in many forms: talking to friends, reaching out to your network, finding a career/life coach. We talk about what a career/life coach is (and isn’t), tips on how to find one, and why you might want to talk to a coach. We also assert that you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help!

Don’t be afraid to ask for help because you will be surprised of how people are willing to help you. -@Doctor_PMS
