In this episode, I had an insightful conversation with Joa Ahern Serrand, a founding member of the Catalyst and a career strategist. We explored the importance of finding meaning in one's career, setting meaningful goals, and creating supportive work environments. Joa shared her experiences as an activist in the career development and employment industry and emphasized the significance of community in shaping our professional journeys. We also discussed the value of mentorship and the interconnectedness of personal and professional growth. Joa highlighted the importance of self-care and service, as well as the need for individuals to strengthen their "asking for help" muscle. Our conversation emphasized collaboration over competition and the positive impact that collaborative environments can have on both personal and professional growth. Join us as we delve into these fascinating topics and learn how to nourish risk-takers in the workplace and beyond.
