We learn some career lessons again and again, and sometimes we just need to get out of our own way. When this happens, Kate Nelson, Director of Economic Opportunity at Jannus, suggests that we be kind to ourselves, remembering that we may not get it right 100% of the time. More important is our ability to learn when we fail and practice persistence, even when it's difficult. 

Kate's abilities and drive took her a long way in the private sector, but that career was ultimately unfulfilling. By calling on some pivotal moments in her early schooling, where she learned about justice and empathy, and drawing on her volunteer work with refugees, she replotted her course and found a career she loves. 

Up next for Kate: taking on predatory lending practices, where she will draw on her grit and determination. She is prepared to hear many "nos" along the way, but knows the potential for positive change is worth the effort.
