Description
Networking is a necessary part of career stewardship.  It can be hard to find the time, know what to say, and overcome discomfort.  But it's even harder if you don't have preexisting relationships, grew up speaking a different language, and are trying to make a career change.  Yet, it's still possible to triumph.  In this episode, Michael takes a deep dive with a former client of his, "Emily."  Emily was born and raised in another country, grew up speaking a non-European language, came to the U.S. as an adult, and attempted a major career change during a massive recession.  She was successful – after a LOT of hard work.  In this deeply personal conversation, Emily talks about what she learned, how she has dealt with doubt and imposter syndrome, and the ways her views on careers have changed.  Not to be missed!
