In this “Us…Only Younger” episode, I chat with my friend Jeryn Laengrich. I met Jeryn when I joined the High-Tech High Heels Board of Directors. I can still recall the day I met her. We were attending a group ideation session and I was assigned to a group with Jeryn. I enjoyed listening to our breakout group strategize and share ideas. And then Jeryn spoke, and I thought “Woah, ok she is special!!” She has a way of drilling down on the right action and watching her dissect possibilities was amazing. As if that weren’t enough, the best part for me was hearing her southern accent. It reminded of some of my relatives and felt like home to me.
What’s it like to be the 1st born daughter of an engineer? How do you carry the expectations shared by your parents who expect you do the best and be the best? How can you be the best and gain the validation desired? One of Jeryn’s favorites sayings asks whether sometimes are our weaknesses our strengths out of bounds? She credits her parents that didn’t force her to go into fields that were largely held by women and to find her passion. My favorite quote in this podcast is when she says that we've lost the 'care' in healthcare. Want to know how this has happened? Check out this episode. Thank you Jeryn!!
