These are questions more of us have started asking this year, as we stop accepting career dissatisfaction and burnout as “just how it is” and re-evaluate our relationship to work.In this episode, I share an approach to career recalibration that has really resonated with me, one that places less of a focus on identifying your core values and more on identifying the tangible pieces that are and are not working for you now.
