Tell us about yourself
After a point of being completely miserable in my career, I spent the next ten years searching for career fulfillment. I sat for over 100 job interviews. I transitioned to Human Resources leadership and conducted over 2,000 job interviews. I learned executive and leadership coaching. Along the way, I held many "dream jobs," but then my dreams would change, and I would move on. And throughout the process, I was learning and growing and building my skills and honing in on what I really wanted.
In 2012, I started Happen To Your Career to help people find career fulfillment. And I love it. In 2013 I started the Happen To Your Career Podcast, and millions of people have listened. Every day we speak to new people and help them figure out how they can make the change to work they love.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Building a team of people who believe in the mission of the company and truly love helping the people that need it.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The balancing act is growing the company while making sure we stay true to our mission and our values as a company and as a team so that we can continue to reach and help more people.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Do your research. Do something you truly love. Don't be afraid to do hard things.
