Are you wondering when is the right time to make a
career move? And what if the next role isn't exactly a promotion?
What do you do?
In this episode with Shana Simmosn (Chief Legal Officer of Everlaw,
we discuss:
- What it means to grow up poor with very little access to
resources and how it impacts the way you navigate the world.
- What the spirit of community and generosity means despite being
poor, and how that helps you have empathy and compassion as a
leader.
- How having access to privilege can be a double edged sword giving
us access to resources while making us feel othered and less
than.
- The impact of laws and ordinances that prevented our families
from building generational wealth, and the importance of changing
that for future generations.
- The significance of having a seat at the table and how to
leverage your privilege to create more inclusion and belonging.
- Why striving for perfection is a setup for failure, and how
returning to base camp in your life and career can help accelerate
your career growth.
- Why mental health is important and what you can do to get support
for depression.
