Overview: We chat with Lisa Lewis Miller, career coach, owner of Career Clarity (http://getcareerclarity.com/), and author of an upcoming book about changing careers (or starting fresh!). Lisa describes the four pillars for career fulfillment that make up the framework she has been using throughout her coaching practice to assist many clients in their journey. She also discusses the importance of finding a good lifestyle fit (even if that means working for a company rather than entrepreneurship) and how a “bridge job” can help make a career transition smoother. Lisa runs her own career coaching service and is releasing a book, Career Clarity (https://getcareerclarity.com/order/), which is due out on November 17, 2020. One Powerful Quotation: * 8:45 – Lisa: “Phase one of the career discernment journey is: you need to start with who you are, what you value, and what you prioritize, and use all of those data points to then help you generate some hypotheses and some ideas for what could be next.” Key Topics: * 0:45 - Lisa talks about starting her journey as a career coach and her upcoming book, Career Clarity, which you can pre-order here (due out on November 17, 2020): https://getcareerclarity.com/order/ (https://getcareerclarity.com/order/). * 6:30 - Shawn asks Lisa to describe her “Career Clarity” framework to career coaching.
