In this episode, I talk with career coach JT Heglund, the Founder and Principal at The Daily Agape. We explore the transformative journey of career coaching, the importance of discovering one’s ‘WHY’, the life-long positive impact of developing emotional intelligence, and the value of understanding one's talents in order to turn them into career-changing strengths. We discuss the various flavors of coaching, the importance of understanding reputable certifications in an unregulated industry, and the ongoing support that coaches can provide you to help you thrive. JT emphasizes the need for a good personality fit between coach and client, shares insights on how to find a coach, and how coaching can unlock your innate potential to free you to pursue roles and careers that are in alignment with who you are, what you are uniquely good at, and what interests you most.
