I’m Samorn Selim. 

I’m a lawyer turned career coach on a mission for us to take our careers from dread to joy. As the daughter of poor Lao refugees, I was told to pay my dues.

After coaching over 1,000 clients, I now realize that the idea that you have to pay your dues and work in a toxic place is a myth. 

We can face our challenges head on, do work we are passionate about, and work with good people with kind hearts to make a big impact. So even as we struggle, we can find a sense of belonging.

Studies show that one out of four people quit their New Year's resolution within the first week of setting them.  And most people quit before the end of January.  

 

To help you make better decisions, we’re resharing this episode with Michelle Florendo, a decision engineer and coach for Type-A professionals and the host of Ask A Decision Engineer Podcast.

 

In this episode, we discuss:

 

- How the intersectionality of our identities, such as being a woman and being Asian, impact our career decisions.

- The 3 part framework to making any decision, so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. 

- Why you always have the power to make a decision, even if you feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. 

- How to consistently make good decisions using not just logic but also your emotions as guidance.
