My clients often feel they have sabotaged their prospects or feel they have somehow failed in their career. Perhaps they did not get a promotion, they stayed in a job for too long or they simply are not sure what to do next in their career.

The next time that you are berating yourself over a perceived career failure, try to think of how you would react to a good friend instead. Why would you treat a friend so differently?

Why not try treating yourself like a good friend and see what happens?
