At just 20 years old, my next podcast guest, leadership development and resilience expert, Jamie Mason Cohen, knew that being a speaker was what he was meant to do, and his intuition made sure that, no matter what career road Jamie took, it would always guide him towards becoming a speaker, as long as Jamie paid attention to the signals and signs that his intuition was sending him.
And as Jamie continued down a windy road of careers, his intuition started to send him signs and signals that he needed to pay attention to so that he could get into a career as a speaker that his 20-year-old self knew was the ultimate career for him.
And sure enough, 20 years later, Jamie listened to his intuition, and, as Jamie puts it, he was finally home.
