Change is often sparked by a subtle shift — a gradual erosion of joy at work, or the dreaded Sunday nights where we can’t shake the impending feel of another monotonous week ahead. In this episode of Authors Who Lead, Yesim Nicholson and I dive deep into this universal experience, emphasizing that these feelings are cues pointing toward the need for a deliberate reevaluation, rather than impulsive decisions. Yesim wisely advocates for a methodical approach, suggesting thorough consideration before leaping into a new career.
