Becoming a Go-to Person

After a couple sessions, a client said she was clear she wants a career in a nonprofit that served women or addressed hunger issues. A week later, she emailed me to say she's accepted a full-time permanent job in IT support for a corporation.

Why?

In my PsychologyToday.com article today, I explain why and the implications for career seekers and for career counselors.
