Katrina is currently writing a "For Dummies Series Book" about taking a break and Sabbatical!Katrina is the Career Break & Sabbatical Fairy Godmother here to make your dreams come true. As a certified master coach with an MBA, I help 9-5ers create successful, mind-blowing career breaks and fight through the fear of breaking from their conventional career paths to create a life that brings fulfillment, joy, adventure or whatever they are craving.My StoryAs a young adult, I had it pretty good: the corporate job, a comfortable salary, generous company benefits. Or so it seemed.I worked my way up the ladder across three large companies, earning praise and awards along the way. But something was missing.I had a comfortable life that looked "successful" on the outside, but inside I struggled with an inner knowing that I was trapped inside a life that wasn’t really “me.” I felt restless and uninspired.I knew a change was necessary but I wasn’t ready to make a big leap to figure out what I really wanted. Instead, I took the “safe” route of going to a top 20 business school. I thought if I did well, with my MBA and my newly-secured job at a fortune 500 company, I would start to feel fulfilled.I would finally be living the life I had always wanted.I worked hard and was good at my job, but I lacked the enthusiasm and strategy necessary to keep climbing the ladder. Plus I had this nagging feeling that things still didn’t feel right.I knew I needed something different.https://www.kmcgheecoaching.com/___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
