Key points Lori and Nola are sharing in this episode:
(04:37:00) The fundamental difference between a career mentor and a career coach.
(06:36:70) Although you might seek coaching services to help you reach a goal or with a desire to make more money, get a promotion, or have an easier time at work, all those things are generally symptomatic of a larger issue that's happening.
(09:17:30) We say you can do anything, but we don't say you can do many things. The values and goals that you had professionally in your 20s are going to be different when you're in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.
(11:15:20) How to combine setting goals with the steps to taking action so that when you feel like you are out of your comfort zone, you still feel like you're making progress.
(17:04:90) Often, people walk away from tenured careers and successful positions because they could not get through an interpersonal challenge they had with someone in the workplace. Here’s what to do first.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
