Career change author and coach Valerie Young writes about life circumstances that may be challenging, but also lead to creative growth and success.
Some people find their calling as a result of a wake up call.

Today his internationally-syndicated cartoon is read by millions and his cubicle is a distant, and at the same time, continuously profitable memory.
