It's for you if
- someone close to you is going through a career change (laid off, quit, unsure whether to stay);
- you want to help without fixing their life or adding pressure;
- the usual phrases don't help and you don't know what to say.
It isn't what you're looking for if
- you're looking for therapy or coaching;
- you expect the guide to tell you what is happening to that person;
- you need a professional: the guide tells you when to suggest one.

Questions about this guide
Is it therapy or coaching?
No. It doesn't tell you what is happening to that person and it doesn't replace a professional when one is needed. The guide tells you when to suggest professional help.
Does it help if I'm a partner, relative or friend, and not their boss?
Yes. It is written for anyone with someone close going through a career change. Chapter 6 is about supporting from other places: partner, friend, parent, colleague.
Can I print the sheets?
Yes, that's what they are for. The guide file itself is personal.
There is a Spanish version
