    What do you do if you've had a big shift in your life? Whether it is in your job or your personal life, how do you take the next steps to reclaim your identity. Joining me on this episode of The Spotlight Hour with Linda Olsen are author Trish Exton-Parder and CFL Hall of Famer and former Calgary Stampeders star running back, Jon Cornish. I've talked about reinvention, or starting the next chapter, on this podcast before, but I wanted to dig deeper. And these two great Calgarians share their journeys of stepping away from a long-time career and how they learned more about who they are and not just what they did for a living. I know you'll be inspired by what they have to say. And if you’re interested in Trish’s book, check out http://Www.dragonflybear.ca
