The Career Studio with Anne Benveniste
Career fulfilment is possible for anyone, it's just a matter of knowing what to focus on. But there's a lot of noise out there - so when work stops working, where do you start? What do you pay attention to and what do you ignore? How do you navigate the transition points in your career and life with intention, focus, and grace?
Hi, my name is Anne Benveniste, and I started The Career Studio to make it easier to build an energizing, fulfilling career you love - one that is simply an extension of who you are and how you want to live your life.
The good news is there are four concepts that are the foundation of any energizing, fulfilling career. And if you know what they are and how to apply them it will allow you to get into alignment and stay there - no matter how you or your life evolve. On this podcast each episode I'll take you through an idea, tool, or concept from one of these four areas so you can strengthen your own foundation and build the career and life you crave.
