The original episode of Gina the Fashionista has been one of the most popular episodes of this Shock Your Potential podcast. For a fun twist we did a follow-up podcast onsite during an actual personal shopping experience, having fun while people wanted to know why I was conducting an interview in the middle of the King of Prussia Mall.

While we hit the last register, a woman asked what we were doing and I introduced Gina as my Personal Shopper. The woman looked scandalized and asked if I meant my Stylist, which made Gina laugh. Gina doesn't mind being called a Personal Shopper. She wants to make shopping easy and enjoyable for her clients, and my stack of clothes was proof of my pleasure.

Gina will be joining me on an adventure to dive deeper into what it takes to become a Personal Shopper, and how you can get certified, no matter where you live. If you are interested in learning more, comment on this post and we will send you the invitation to join us.

Shayla Bolt is an MBA graduate with only 4 years of paid work experience within her 20 year career. She chose to forsake her career plans to raise their two children and has been homeschooling for the past 9 years. Her challenge is one that many people face, whether you have been out of the "traditional" work world for a long time, or even if you haven't had to search for a job in a long time, much of the journey is emotionally charged.

In addition, changes in technology, if only the technology of how human resource information systems affect your ability to get a resume even looked at, can make you feel like you don't know which way to turn.

Shayla's honesty is refreshing, and her desire to tackle this job search is motivating!

This conversation with Sabrina Jureidini and Chrystie Payne tells the tale of how Adopt a Family evolved also into Adopt a Classroom. The need is still there, but more important to remember is that hurricane season is right here again.
