Welcome to the Season 5 finale!  In this episode, Dan and I talk about making a plan for the new year.  Whether it be how to shine your brightest at work or maybe creating a plan to find a new job this year, it’s so important to start by reflecting on the past year to figure out what went well, what you wish had gone differently, what you learned and then start to think about what you want for the new year.  We also share our own reflections on the past year and what we want to accomplish in 2023.  I can’t thank you all enough for joining us on this journey and can’t wait to see what 2023 brings not only our way but yours too!  🤩

In this episode, you will specifically learn …

• How to find your passion and what will bring you closer to your dream
• How to set yourself up for success to start your job search
• How to prep for interview questions and reconnecting with your network
• How to reignite your job search if you are feeling stuck
