Show Notes

We made it to the season finale!  In today’s episode, Karen wraps up the season to make sure you are on the best path forward.  She will share her own experiences navigating her own career and some actionable ways you can continue to Shine at Work by making sure you are running towards something and not just away from something. 

In this episode you’ll specifically learn...

  • How to identify what you like and don’t like in your current role, and how that overlaps with your strengths.
  • How to determine what kind of manager works best for you and what you need out of your direct team to be successful.
  • How to recognize a culture that is right for you (spoiler alert it's not about free coffee and ping pong tables).
  • How to pick an industry that best fits your interests and the kind of work you want to be doing.
