But according to Find Your Dream Job guest Anne Lapour, you should continue to plan your career on a regular basis. Anne says our personal life changes affect our careers, so as we evolve in life, we evolve in our work, as well. Self-reflection can give you clarity on what matters to you, and research will allow you to develop new skills that you can use to plan your next step.

But you can relaunch with confidence, says Find Your Dream Job guest Heather Black. Heather states it isn't uncommon to have times away from working a job, and being unemployed is a great time to level up your skillset. Before you apply for a new position, consider what you can bring to the table. Heather suggests learning about various options and deciding which skills you have that would apply to those positions. Volunteering is a great way to experience new places and cultures, and can help you decide which field to explore further, as well as give you the needed experience.  About Our Guest: Heather Black is the founder and CEO of Supermums.  Resources in This Episode: Visit supermums.org to explore career options and see what opportunities are available for you.  Connect with Heather on LinkedIn.  Use promo code DREAMJOB at the link below to get an exclusive 60% off an annual plan at incogni.com/dreamjob.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!
