Customer Reviews
This podcast always calms my doubts!
Whenever I feel a sense of doubt of overwhelm about my career, I love tuning into this podcast! Scott and his team are so insightful and are fantastic at putting things into perspective. I’ve learnt so much about myself through this podcast and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for more clarity on their careers :)
Thank you for the support
I am super grateful and this is a great start of 2022 for me 💪🏻 I know it took a while but being so picky and post Covid competitive environment I am glad for the change and possibility of career progress in the near future. I just want to sincerely thank you for your support and encouragement a few years ago. I am glad that we connected via LinkedIn and I am able to continue learning good tips from you and your network ☺️
Really helpful, accessible and interesting
Scott’s approach is novel, altruistic and honest. He has helped me re-frame my thinking when it comes to my strengths, anti-strengths and work life. Given how logical his advice is - it’s shocking to think how rare it is that people join the dots in such a way.
