Listen Later

Part Two.

Jennifer Selby Long, who has spent the last 30 years helping tech leaders navigate the waves of tech evolution, leading and managing organizational change. In recent years, her focus has been on cybersecurity, digital transformation, and user experience.

But don’t tune out just yet if you’re not in those fields—what Jennifer shares is relevant to anyone looking to thrive in today’s fast-changing world.

This episode (and the last one) is all about how to guide yourself through personal transformation and step into your next opportunity.

A leader can’t successfully drive organizational change without first mastering their own personal transformation. So, we’ll dive into why understanding the natural process of personal change can help you fast-track your transformation, how to manage self-doubt, avoid sabotaging your own progress, and how to make career moves that truly work in your favor—instead of simply running away from one undesirable situation to the next.
