Part of what led me to become a career coach was my own experience with hopelessness. It was the first extended time in my life where I couldn’t seem to find the solution, no matter how much energy and effort I put it. Not having hope is the worst feeling. I would take my dog on long walks, and feel so sorry for myself. But I kept plugging away, and one day, I did find the solution. In my case it was related to work, and as a career coach, I now get to hold the hope for my clients, even when they can’t see it for themselves.
