    One of the things I've realized in my coaching practice is that people don't often think about their dreams. Instead they talk about making more money or getting a promotion, but never the journey that will get them there. At the core of it all, there's a hesitancy to have the courage to make something happen in the first place. In this episode, I unpack how to communicate your dreams, where to find courage, and how - when you find it - it can open up more opportunities in your career and personal life that you could have never imagined.  --- Be You: The World Will Adjust is a weekly, Toronto podcast hosted by leading adviser in recruiting and personal development coaching, Jim Beqaj.

Whether it's a job or a relationship, it's natural to find yourself getting complacent about parts of your life that aren't making you happy. But the thing is, it doesn't have to be that way. We're in an age where happiness matters, and the great resignation is a signal to companies that people are choosing their well being first.

I'm taking some time to dive deeper into the responsibilities of leaders and mentors and what it means to turn out people so that they're using their best attributes.
