S7 E8: Preparing to Launch into the WorkforceIn this episode, Gerald and Alexis discuss how young adults can make the most of their years after high school, whether in college or not, to prepare for their future in the workforce… to be ready to launch!Life changes in so many ways once you leave what may feel like living in a bubble during childhood where there are fewer interactions and experiences outside of your community or school environment. This discussion aims to elicit insight and bring about a sense of hope as we change the expectations from failing to launch to being Prepared to Launch. We explore experiences and challenges that come after high school; strategies to navigate the uncertainty; and insights to make meaning and gain wisdom throughout the journey. Ideas shared come from Gerald's expertise as a practicing psychologist and Alexis’ expertise as an educational therapist and executive function coach working with young adults everyday.
