17: Your "career" is not a race... or is it? (with Rianne BeCraft)
One of my favorite things about diving deep into words in these episodes is tracing how the history of the word affects the way we use it today. Even if that old definition feels incredibly different from what we know. “Career” is a perfect example.*
Today, I explore that word with career coach, Rianne BeCraft. I’ve worked with Rianne through some of my own career transitions, and I’m so excited to share a bit of their expertise with you.
*Hint: “rat race” is more apt than you think. 😉
