Lead with Lois

003: Self Awareness and Career Transition with Kelli Doss


Listen Later

This interview is kicking off a new series on the Lead with Lois Podcast all about career transitions. In this first interview, I sat down with my dear friend Kelli Doss, the Chief Talent & Equity Officer at iMentor, a non-profit that pairs high school students with professional mentors to increase their likelihood of enrolling in and graduating from college. Kelli shares how self-awareness and self-reflection helped her to transition from a legal career into the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion space. If you’ve ever had a feeling that the career you’re in right now just isn’t “it” for you, and need motivation to pivot, you don’t want to miss this episode.

Some of the key quotes and takeaways Kelli shares are:

  • “There’s passion, and there’s your job. And if you’re lucky, they intersect.” - Kelli Doss
  • Having a strong mission with no passion will keep you from being fulfilled in your job.
  • Being a strong leader means knowing when to lead and when to follow.
