In this episode of The Successful Encore Career, we welcome Faith Williams VP of Programs at YWCA, Columbus OH. Faith completed her career as a partner with a large local law firm before moving into the nonprofit world.

Faith talks to us about:

Her background and the work she did at the law firm - was "law" the profession you identified when people asked what you were going to be when you grew up?

Her educational background, and her plans for her degree.

While practicing law, did this give her opportunity to view many types of organizations?  Did any of the organizations - or even organizations- give you a new picture of career opportunities or types of jobs that may be interesting to you outside of the field of law.

What steps did you take in reaching the decision to leave your law practice and go into a new field?  How did the nonprofit world become your focus?

Did you face any barriers?

The Successful Encore Career is a service of Employment For Seniors and sponsored by Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging, and Nationwide Insurance.
