In this episode, I talk to Rachel Despres, a Career Coach for Rebels who, after successfully escaping her own cubicle, began helping others break free of their desk jobs and build unconventional careers that truly fit with who they are—from creative work, to side hustles, to starting a business.

That word, rebel, is one that I found to be the magic key in your conversation. Which you will love, as she takes us through her journey of becoming a coach for rebels and a rebel herself, from ‘rule follower extraordinare’ as she calls herself at some point. 

Sharing some nuggets of our conversation here:

• How she realized that she followed all the rules, did everything according to the rules, and she was so unhappy
• How asking the question ‘what else could be possible?’ can be a pivotal moment for many of us
• What were some of the strong skills muscles that helped her make the shift from corporate to business, and the skills muscles she had to work on growing
• How some corporations lose so much talent because they’re not flexible to make room for the various talents that people bring, and allow them to move where they fit best
• How we all want to contribute, make a difference and work with purpose, and realize there’s much more we can do
• Why passion, values and skills is the place where we can find the real magic – and how to do that

So, get ready to make room for some ‘big magic’ in your life as you join Rachel and I in this episode!
