Are you stuck in a job you hate? Thinking about a career change, but are yet to take the leap? Worried you might be throwing away your years of experience or training?

Various factors, such as money and culture, influence our career choices. As a result we can end up climbing a career ladder that is not aligned with our true ambitions, motivations and values.
