Whether you’re facing a career curveball or a personal leap of faith, workplace transitions can feel scary and are often traumatic. Maybe you’re a highly sensitive leader or mid-career professional who feels stuck in your career, or a student who's burned out and not sure what you want to do when you “grow up.”
