Episode Quote:

“Having no career strategy is like unwittingly going on a holiday that someone else has booked for you. You don’t know where you’re going, how long you’re going for, what’s in your bag and what’s going to happen when you get there. You’re  just a pawn in someone else’s game.”  (Rebecca Allen, Career Success Coach and host of Her Ambitious Career podcast)
