On this week’s episode of Carry On Friends, I’m excited to welcome our first mother-daughter duo as guests. Shermira and Karmel both have a melting pot of Caribbean heritage, and we have an interesting conversation about the skills needed to navigate the workplace, how to prepare for new jobs, and networking.

We not only learn about mentorship, but also why transitioning to sponsorship is powerful for your career. 

They share tips on how to prepare to enter new careers or jobs, and how to network with more ease and less anxiety.
