Here's What We Can Do About It - Glamour   Client Success Stories     LaQuanta is one of our recent clients who found her ideal career through coaching and a lot of work on her part. She shared three important lessons learned with us: 1.  Look for patterns: If you have worked, volunteered, etc. there are certain recurring themes that will surface. Be open to exploring what those patterns mean for your ideal career. 2.  Do not discount the small things: You may think that some seemingly insignificant fact about what you desire in a dream career is just that - insignificant. That small thing could be the key that unlocks the door that helps reveal your perfect career move. 3.  Sometimes the most uncomfortable decisions are those that place us in a right vs. wrong position. When faced with these types of dilemmas, if it is not a matter of doing something immoral, both options are good. Choose the one that is best for you in the long run. Even if it doesn't appear to work out in the short term, remember that one thing that makes our lives so awesome is the fact that there are always other options.     Hello Isodifj, Happy New Year!
