We all talk about wanting to have a job we love. But that’s easier said than done, right?

Even if you know you want to change, you might wonder:  “What, exactly, should I do next? How do I find it? Where do I even start? How do I know what I’m good at? And—what if I am not particularly good at anything?”

Christie Mims will delve into the key skills you need to identify your skills and talents, and find your passion. You will learn:

  • 5 Key questions to ask yourself to truly figure out what your passion is
  • One five-minute secret for creating your next job description
  • How to uncover your greatest talents
  • A tool to help you decide when it’s right to move on and what company or career is going to be the right fit for you
