When I Grow Up Coach is Michelle Ward, a career coach who specializes in helping creative folks land the job of their dreams. We recently got together to talk about resources to handle the business side of being a creative, how she comes up with big juicy questions, and what to do to move your creative dream career forward while having “a real job.”
Inciting our conversation was her new work book, Operation: Creative Career Cheer (which you can save $10 on by using the discount code NYCIROCKS). It’s filled with career-change exercises, is completely illustrated and the whole thing rhymes (yes, all 50+ pages rhyme!).
Operation: Creative Career Cheer was tons of fun to go through…it asks questions to get you thinking seriously about your passions and how you can turn those passions into a career. Although it’s fun, it gives you actionable steps you can take to make a change in your career that will lead to more fulfillment and happiness.
So for career advice awesomeness, watch the video!
