Barry Davis is a career coach, speaker, and founder of Gift of Self Career Services, LLC. One of his gifts is helping others discover how to use their gifts and passions to thrive in the world of work.
He recently joined me to talk about bringing your passion to work (in any economy) and creating work that is a reflection of who you are. Listen in as Barry shares his insights, tips, and his three rules for making career decisions even when it feels difficult.
Here's a fun quote from our conversation: "A certain amount of every job builds character." (Barry, referring to how each job, even a great one for us, has parts that don't call on our gifts and strengths. And that's okay.)
For additional career tips from me and 17 other pros (plus our recipes, including my "Lavender Cookies"), order your own copy of Nourish Your Career. Also available from Amazon.

Shahrzad and Barry -
Awesome quote! I totally agree with you that even the parts of our job that are tough can build character. Actually, it's the hard things in all of life that give us opportunities to be our best.
Thanks for the great blog!
