Nourish Your Career Visit tonight (7:30-8:30 p.m. EST)

Stop by this evening to say hello, ask a career or job search question, or share a comment. (Just use the comment section to join the conversation.)

Here's a topic to get us started. One of the three core concepts you hear me and the book's contributors talk about is Clarity. How do you gain or deepen clarity about who you are, your unique gifts, skills, and characteristics, and the ideal employer (or client) who needs and wants them? What have you found that works especially well for you?

Looking forward to seeing you then!
