*“It is all about being open to where your experiences might take you. I think we all have skills that are transferable. And so you need to open your mind.”*Are you seeking to make a career change, but aren’t sure how to proceed?In this episode, I talk to Joanne Lipman, best-selling author, speaker, and media executive about the process of reinventing yourself.A theme in my coaching and advising work with executive clients is a secret desire to find more meaning and fulfillment in their lives.  I often hear confessions of inner longings to reinvent their working lives and in some cases, to change careers and do something entirely different. Yet that longing is often accompanied by fear and ultimately, dismissal.I frequently talk about this often unexpressed search for meaning and the desire to do something different.
