Today I reflect on some key lessons learned from my initial work on this podcast. In particular, I’ve received feedback about how challenging it is to detail push factors for three reasons: 

1. They’re often emotional before we place logic to them
2. They may not be flattering to share publicly, and
3. Reframing them diplomatically feels disingenuous 

I give you my take on why the process of fleshing out your push factors help you better understand yourself and make empowered career decisions.
