Are you part of the 52% of people unhappy in their careers? In this episode of The Guiding Voice , we sit down with global career strategist Stephen Shortt to transform your career confusion into absolute clarity. Stephen breaks down his transformative IDEAL and HAPPY frameworks—tools designed to help you build a career by choice, not chance.
