9 to 5ish with theSkimm

Stacey Abrams: "The first time I realized that I wanted more than I was supposed to want it was both terrifying and it was so freeing."

Whether it’s getting that promotion or starting your own business, it can be intimidating to map out your career goals. But this week, Stacey Abrams told us to try one simple approach: write it down. The voting rights activist, politician, and author has a lot on her plate at any given time, from getting out the vote to writing romance novels. And she keeps her eye on the prize...literally keeping a spreadsheet. Tune in to hear her tips on how to stay focused on your goals. And why being honest with yourself - and even your boss - about your ambitions is a good place to start. 


In this episode, Abrams shares how she prioritizes, how she decides to not pursue something, and what she wants to do next.
