Still Learning

In this episode I spoke with career coach Meg Duffy. Meg coaches people — primarily women in the tech space — through meaningful career transitions, offering structure and support through what can be an intimidating and elusive process. In our conversation we discuss how she came to that work, and how her early experiences of learning and self-discovery have illuminated her own career trajectory and development. Meg also suggests some helpful questions and nuggets of wisdom from her perspective as a coach that can inform anyone’s learning and self-inquiry process, whether or not you’re on the brink of a career switch.

In this episode I spoke with one of my earliest and most influential teachers, dancer & choreographer Katie Faulkner. Katie shares about her journey into dance and refining her skills as a dance teacher, as well as how she approaches her work as a choreographer through a cyclical learning process. She sheds some light on the fear of being seen so many of us feel when we share our ideas publicly, and offers a refreshing perspective on the importance of rest and waiting to "making" — especially in the current pandemic.

Welcome to Season 2!

In this first episode, I spoke with  Chelsea Johnson, a User Experience Researcher at LinkedIn who also has her PhD in Sociology from USC. Chelsea is also one of the authors of the amazing book Intersectionallies, which aims to explain intersectionality and the many aspects of identity to children, but is also really a book for all people. Chelsea and I spoke about her learning experiences growing up and through graduate school, her interests and passions that sparked Intersectionallies, and some of the ways she's continuing to learn and adapt to a Covid-19 world in her day-to-day life today. 

Some solo reflections on what I've learned from creating this mini series, and some of the themes that emerged from our conversations about learning. Also, a template for personal learning reflection.
