Managing Big Transitions + Finding Balance

from The Ikigai Project

In this episode we explore the mental journey of going through significant transitions and strategies to successfully navigate change. Whether the transition is anticipated (e.g. - quitting your job), or unanticipated (e.g. - being laid off). Our guest Andrea Fruhling shares insights from over 20 years of experience in coaching, career development and team leadership. She uses creativity to view transitions from a new perspective. We even walk through an activity called the Balance Wheel and invite listeners to give it a try!
