We’re talking today about work and navigating career transitions. A career is on top of mind for almost everyone at some point in life. My guest is Laura Simms, an expert in meaningful work who challenges conventional wisdom by asking people to ditch their passions and start with purpose. She’s the creator of Your Career Homecoming, a celebrated career change program that helps people discover the meaningful work right for them.
This episode also explores some aspects holding women from advocating for themselves and creating change. If you are ready to take up rightful space in your life and career, tune into my conversation with Laura!
