Do you want to make big career changes? But you feel like you don ‘t know where to start? In this episode with Jennifer Franklin, we discuss:
- How growing up as a Black woman with parents who didn’t graduate from high school shaped her life.
- What she changed to go from a high school dropout to assistant dean of career services at a law school.
- Why it’s important to be aware of your beliefs and mindset, and how to change it from scarcity to abundance.
- How to say no gracefully when you’re asked to do free work.
- Why you shouldn’t let shame, guilt, and manipulation pushing you into what you don’t want to do
- Why you shouldn’t let the idea of rejection stop you from applying to your dream jobs; someone is being paid to tell you no, let that person earn their money.
- The importance or recognizing when you’re running away from a job versus when you’re running towards something.
- What you can do to network with
anyone and get them to be part of your community.
