Why did I create this?
Yesterday I put an announcement on LinkedIn, if you had been made redundant recently you can book me in for a FREE 30 minute 1 on 1 career coaching session for the month of July.
You can still book me in via this calendly link. But my usual rates of $99 AUD for a 30 minute session will apply.
I plan on sharing this PDF with everyone I chat to as a post chat follow up take away.
