Feeling stuck in your career, or are you keeping an open mind? In this episode, Frank Winters from Schenectady, NY, shares his incredible career flip. After 35 years as New York State's Geographic Information Officer (GIO) and holding leadership roles like Executive Director of the Geospatial Advisory Council, Frank decided to pivot. Now, as the owner of WintersGeo Inc., he's all about public speaking workshops, communication coaching, and geospatial consulting.
Frank dives into the power of following your "North Star," making decisions that open new doors, and embracing curiosity to grow. His story is all about finding fulfillment through work that truly clicks with who you are.
He’s also the author of 10 Little Rules for Sharing Your Story, runs public speaking workshops, and even coaches a youth mountain bike team.
