The One About Careers

Meet Amanda: Events Maven


Listen Later

Join Devon and Sarah-Jane for a chat with Amanda Donovan, who is the Activities Coordinator for St. Paul's Anglican Church in Charlottetown, PEI. (A job she would never have expected to be doing!)

While much of her job is about event management, and she gets to lean into her love of events and building connections, we got pretty philosophical about life and careers at the end!

Along the way, some other great tidbits about careers came out:

  • Recognizing the common thread about you that shows up in different areas of work, volunteering and life
  • Being able to identify skills that you have that are actually unique and marketable
  • Finding a welcoming and accepting workplace
  • Following your dream without it having to be your job
  • The ongoing battle we all have to find your voice and have the courage to use it
  • How your life view at a young age can shape your career decisions, even long after you've grown up.
