Bold Moves: How Did You Know | Midlife Career Change, Life Transitions & Design for Women

You're going to love this podcast episode with Tammy Tibbetts, Co-Founder and CEO of global girls' rights nonprofit She's the First. She's the First fights for a world where every girl can choose her own future.

Tammy founded She's the First in 2009 to pursue her passion for advocating for girls and women around the world who don't have the freedom of making their own choices. Her belief in an equitable world for all girls gave her a reason to "push past her fears and be bold." She went all in and now She's the First annually engages nearly 150,000 girls across 42 countries through its coalition building and advocacy for girls' rights.

There are so many gems that you can take from Tammy's story as inspiration as you continue to make bold moves in your career and your life:

> What motivates you to act? Let that be your reason to push beyond the fear.

> Take opportunities you've earned. You deserve to be recognized for your hard work.

> Invest in your personal brand and tell your story.

> Change directions when your current direction no longer aligns with your values.

> Be a transparent leader. This cultivates people who want to follow you versus people who have to follow you.

> Trust the future you. The future version of you will know exactly what to do.
