    Making Conscious Career Choices with Jennifer Mulholland and Jeff Shuck

    Making Conscious Career Choices with Jennifer Mulholland and Jeff Shuck

    21% of millennials say they've changed jobs within the past year and 83% of recently surveyed Gen Z workers consider themselves job hoppers.
    But does job hopping lead to higher satisfaction and happiness, or, is it a symptom of a deeper issue?

    For the last decade, Jennifer Mulholland and Jeff Shuck, co-owners of Plenty Consulting, have helped thousands of conscious leaders, businesses, and non-profits grow in revenue, impact, and fulfillment.

    Their new book, Leading with Light: Choosing Conscious Leadership When You’re Ready for More, offers a blueprint to help you make more intentional career choices and align your passions, talents, and dreams so that you can enjoy what you do.

    In this episode, Kim and Louise sit down with Jennifer and Jeff to discuss how to stop job hopping and their three proven strategies to make more conscious career choices.
