Several weeks ago, I posted on Instagram about a colleague’s unique work space and quickly learned that you all wanted to learn more about her and her private practice! Today I'm giving you all that information and more.

My guest is Lorraine Holeman, and guess what? We had the fun experience of sitting down to record this interview in person as she lives local to me. Lorraine was actually my department head for a couple of years, and she has some great insight as to what makes a great leader and teammate. 

In her early career, Lorraine was an Army officer. She then became a school counselor, went after her LPC, and most recently opened her own private practice co-working space, Summit Greenville. 

Inside this episode, Lorraine shares all about her career changes, and what she loves most about each one. She gives important advice about the importance of knowing your strengths and values, and allowing that to guide your career decisions.

Lorraine and I discuss her experience as a department head, and her wisdom about how to put yourself in a place of leadership in order to advocate for your students and your role as a school counselor. Then she gives us all the fun details of making the leap to a private practice.
