Here’s a radical thought: Maybe career discovery isn’t just about filling a job, but about finding your voice and passion. Nicolas Comstock, from the Nick Speaks podcast, shared an eye-opening experience about how a case manager can transform a job search into an exploration of self. Imagine being told repeatedly that your calling is to podcast. But here’s the catch: no clear path to get there.
For years, Nick heard he should dive into podcasting, but lacked the roadmap. Enter Kyle Goodnight, a producer who didn’t just open doors but flung them wide open. Nick’s story isn’t just about finding employment; it’s about embracing a journey of self-discovery and advocacy. It’s about redefining what ‘work’ means for those with disabilities.
This is a narrative that challenges the status quo. Employment isn’t just a means to an end, but a platform for empowerment and self-expression. Are we ready to shift our perspective and truly support individuals in discovering their unique voices?
