Did you think that your career would be like climbing a ladder? One rung after the other, the next step right in front of you? Well, so did we.
But guess what? That is not how most careers work any more. They mostly look like a squiggle, starting in one point and navigating through many different roles and fields to get to the other point.
We started this podcast to help other people navigate their own career squiggles by talking to inspiring women on their unique careers with humility and honesty. Each week you can expect a new episode, hosted by Colleen DelVecchio and Kristine Thody, talking with someone about their career squiggle. So, we figured no better way to start the show than by having a duo episode with just our hosts!
In our first episode we delve into conversation with our hosts on their own personal career squiggles, how they met, and why they decided to launch this podcast. Listen to this episode for their insights on career hurdles and how they go about career decision making.
