011 - Breaking the Cycle: No Magic Pills, But Genuine Growth

If you feel saying, like one of my clients, "I have to work on my skills as I lost some of my value on my market, finish a diploma and then my work life will be fine again."

Or another one - "if I work harder, I will be fine."

Or- "next week will be better"

Then this episode is for you.

In this episode, Laurence Methot discusses the magic pill syndrome, where individuals expect a quick fix to their problems instead of making lasting changes.

  • How to identify and Break any patterns that hurt you at work
  • How you can break the cycle, whether you're 40 or 55, closer to retirement.
