    126. Returning with the Help of a Team of Experts

    Returning to work after several years away is not a simple task, but the good news is that you do not have to go it alone.  Amy Dantzler returned as a consultant to the same global health care consulting firm she had worked for several years before, but it wasn't as simple as dropping right back in. In addition to reactivating her network of contacts, she had help along the way from a team of experts for everything from her resume to her interview skills.  Today, she's expanding her career even further by transitioning her skills into a role leading onboarding efforts for others joining her company.

    124. Get Out of Your Own Way and #DoTheThing

    What's your thing? You know, that thing inside of you that you've always wanted to do. Dona Sarkar, author of #DoTheThing, is here to help you discover your thing, get out of your own way, and get it done. She's a good one to be giving the advice as she's had lots of "things" over the years. In addition to her career at Microsoft where she is currently the Director of Technology for Accessibility at Microsoft, she is an author and she runs her own fashion line, Prima Dona Studios. Dona shares that she has been called aggressive, ambitious and a bit of a diva. Her response? Hell yes. She's proud to be all those and more! In this interview, she shares the strategies she's used to #dothething including thinking of herself in the 3rd person on her own Hero's Journey, ruthless time management, and extending her comfort zone a tiny bit rather than completely stepping out of it. I did the exercises in her book #DoTheThing and it is that work that inspired me to create this podcast. I highly recommend it for you too. Not sure what your thing is? She has strategies for discovering your thing too! Mentioned in this podcast: #DoTheThing Prima Dona Studios

    Leslie McCaddon found her dream job as an outreach coordinator for a national non-profit mental health clinic serving military families, but not too long ago she was in a very different position. A widowed mom of three children, before she was ready to create the job of her dreams, she had to first get over the story she was telling herself - that no one would want to hire someone who hadn't finished college or worked for a company in 20 years. In addition to her work as outreach coordinator, she is a certified professional life coach who coaches other women through The Happiest Mom Coach.

    Karen Rae doesn't shy away from telling other women her career break was 27 years long. With her kids grown, and facing an empty nest, she knew she was ready for something else.
