Surviving the day to day of motherhood doesn’t often leave time or energy to think about building a dream career-we get it.  But what if there was true progress in small steps? It’s true! Whether you need a nudge or a (gentle) shove to get thinking about what actually fulfills you, this episode delivers.

We’re talking to Mary Olson-Menzel - a celebrated career coach, founder of MVP 360 Coaching, and an industry leader across media, tech, healthcare and more.  She is also author of a new book What Lights You Up? Illuminate Your Path and Take the Next Big Step in Your Career.

Mary’s experience is on both sides of the job market: hiring for major corporations and coaching people on how to get hired. In this rapid-fire interview, Mary offers her wealth of know-how whether you’re a work-from-home mom or work out of the house:

*breaking out of your routine and comfort zone to WANT the upgrade
*deciding if you’re truly ready to make a leap
*how to talk about a career pause to stay home and raise kids (hint: play it up!)
*polishing your social presence: we’re talking LinkedIn, Instagram, and more
*tell your career story unabashedly by owning it!
*how to ask your boss for more flexibility and/or more money
