Chief Change Officer#326 Nina Sossamon-Pogue: Build a Life You’re Proud Of—Not Just a Career You SurviveIn Part 2 of her conversation, Nina Sossamon-Pogue moves from storytelling to strategy—offering real-world tools for navigating change, resilience, and reinvention. From building a reverse resume to mapping your own success timeline, she shares frameworks that help Gen Xers (and anyone feeling stuck) turn lived experience into a launchpad.

For Gen Xers who’ve quietly navigated identity loss, layoffs, industry shifts, and market crashes, Nina’s story is a masterclass in evolving without losing yourself.>>From Falling Down to Rising Up2025-04-2728 min
