Episode 79: My Story from Teacher to Consultant
The Autism Helper Podcast
07/13/20 • 33 min
There are a few questions I get asked a lot that don't have a quick answer for. One of these questions is "How did you get this job? How can I become a consultant or trainer too?" I previously haven't had a good way to answer this question. So in the episode, I'm sharing my whole story. I can’t necessarily tell you how to become a consultant too but I can share the story of my path and how that changed and evolved and how I landed up where I am today.
