Liz Career Coaching
Welcome to the Liz Career Coaching podcast, my name is Liz Herrera and I am your host, career coach and job search ally. I have dedicated most of my profession as a career coach and have worked with many clients and students that have found their niche or continue to strive to find career happiness, purpose and satisfaction. For many reasons, some people find themselves in a career path that does not align with their goals and overall purpose. If you are launching your career or ready for your next career move, this podcast will empower you to pave your path and take the action steps to get you where you need to be. Episodes will entail discussion and interviews around values, interests, finding career satisfaction, uncovering and leveraging strengths, and conversations with professionals in diverse industries.
