As a career crisis coach I've learned that crisis tend to show up in one of 3 ways:

1. You can't keep up with your responsibilities at work and at home.
2. You're stuck. There is something that is keeping you from moving in the direction you want to go, yet you can't see what it is. It's a blind spot.
