Ask me a QHello Bright Minds, my guest coachee today is Rachel, a senior marketing and insight professional and mum of two boys who recently returned to work after an extended period of sick leave after suffering from burnout..Four key takeouts from this episode:.Assume people want to help you and that you deserve to be helped. Share what your ‘dream’ help would be and let them negotiate downwards if needs be! (For Rachel this was having one set of grandparents have the boys after lunch every Saturday until Sunday morning for 6 months).Career change is possible and that it takes time – how much time depends on how much you need your current salary.Setting aside time for exploration of possible different career options is vital – this is the foundation for making a plan for HOW you’re going to make the shift. Having an end date for the exploration phases focuses the mind – for Rachel this is five months (at which point she’ll turn 38).  MORE FOR YOU DM Jessica on instagram @comebackcommuk Get Jessica's FREE fortnightly note, Pivotal.
