Have you been counting down the days, Reader? Today is the first ever Stay or Go Table Talk on Zoom! (link below) This where you can join me for a free round table discussion with others going through similar career (and life) decision making around staying or leaving distressing work. And learning to make better decisions about what to do about it. If you have questions about #distressingwork, a career change you might be contemplating, difficult co-workers, a challenging boss, or how to live a more satisfying life after 40, this is the place to ask. This inaugural session happens Friday March 29 from 12-1pm Pacific. Can’t join me live? No problem. Everyone who signs up will receive a recording of the event. Click here to join us on Zoom at noon Pacific: Note: All Table Talks are recorded and shared in their entirety with everyone who registers regardless of whether or not they attend live. Recordings may occasionally be shared with my broader email list. Recordings will never be edited or shared on social media or in any other public-facing marketing. If you wish to ask a question but remain anonymous please submit your question to becky@fireworkscoaching.com and I will answer it on the Table Talk anonymously.

Hi Reader, Tomorrow’s the day!Trust Yourself Table Talk goes live Wednesday at 4:00 pm PT / 7:00 pm ET, and I wanted to pop in with a little pre-event pep talk. I asked a few clients how they used to answer: “So… tell me about yourself.” Here were some of the replies: 👉 “I grew up in Ohio and I really love cheese.” 👉 “Um… well… I have a cat named Olive – does that count?” 👉 “Honestly? I panic and start listing every job I’ve ever had since 1998.” We’ve all done it — blurted out random facts,...
