Career Coaching
One of the building blocks that each of us builds our own happiness is a sense of professional fulfillment. We spend a third of our day at work, and in many cases, we stay there even longer, not only physically but also mentally. We think about our duties, problems, or deadlines even when we close the office door or turn off our business laptops. We bring them home and we cannot separate them from our private life. So if work does not bring us satisfaction, it affects our whole life. In such a case a good solution may be career coaching.
