BONUS EPISODE: Inside the Land Your Dream L&D Role 30-Day Challenge

You are so much more than your job search. Today's episode of The Overnight Trainer Podcast was completely unplanned. In fact, I had a whole topic around how to use Design Thinking in L&amp;D and the job search process.  But… Sometimes things don't go as planned. Last week I wrote a post on LinkedIn about desperation, and I received so many DMs and emails about how you are feeling desperation, overwhelm, sadness, etc. starting to kick in when it comes to your job search. So today, I planned on talking about Design Thinking…and ended up talking about how to find, and come back to yourself during the process of a career transition.  Next week we'll get back to regularly scheduled programming. Today, wherever you are on your career journey, I honor, see, and support you.  Here's the link to the 30-Day Challenge: https://theovernighttrainer.thinkific.com/bundles/land-your-dream-l-d-role-30-day-challenge
