The Corporate Sister

In this episode of the TCS podcast, I'm asking the question: "Career fulfillment or career prestige?" When we think about building a great career, fulfillment and authenticity are usually not the first things that come to mind.Like so many other working women and moms, I took with me the various pieces of well-intended career advice I was given while growing up, as I was starting to build my own career. As I was told, I looked for places of prestige, perks, and well…money. It wasn't until years later, when disruption hit my life and the virulent itch of disruption and change took over, that I started questioning myself about what "having a great career" really means.

This is exactly what this episode grapples with. Listen in!
