Alison Cardy could see that her mother’s career change from teaching to accounting had been perfect for her, but Alison was just going through the motions at her own accounting job. “I knew it wasn't the right path for me, but I struggled for a couple of years.” Then, volunteering for a crisis and suicide hotline changed her life. Today, she is the author of “Career Grease: How to Get Unstuck and Pivot Your Career.” As a career coach, she has guided hundreds of people to innovative and functional career solutions.
