According to Gallup, we spend just over 81,000 hours working during our lifetime yet only one person in ten actually loves what they do.
Change Your Story podcast host Carolyn Parry is an award-winning career and life coach, author, and speaker on a mission to help those who are unhappy at work – and that’s because she knows what it feels like!
Fortunately, she eventually found a way to transform the successful but soul-eroding business career that burned her out into a twenty-year-plus career she is still as passionate about today. That’s because it aligns with who she really is and her desire to help other professionals find something more meaningful so they can escape the hamster wheel, too.
Carolyn is the immediate past President of the Career Development Institute, the professional body for the career development sector. A TEDx speaker and non-executive director, she recently published her first book, which shares its name with this podcast and includes some of its stories. Readers on Amazon have described it as ‘motivational’, ‘inspiring’, ’empowering’, ‘encouraging’, and ‘life-changing’.
So settle back, get comfortable, and join Carolyn and her inspirational guests as they share powerful stories, strategies, and insights to help you find your inspiration so you can create a career that brings you joy too.
