I was introducing myself to the person on the adjacent exhibition stand at Earls Court Arena in London.
"Hi! How's it going...?" was all I said - before the most amazing reply was given to my question...
"I've just left uni and now I'm lost!

It's all about a conflict of values i.e. what really matters to you, deep down, and what this next job is about.
This inner struggle is often about:
"I must do this because... but I don't want to!"
"I should do this because... but I don't want to!"
"I want to do this BUT... "
