Are you a strong independent career woman who is passionate about her career? Do you want the dream job but fear you will have to sacrifice your work life balance to get it? I'm Career Coach Dr. Dawn Hamby, and I’m on a mission to help women JUST LIKE YOU build your brand, create a career you love, and live your life with more passion and purpose. I am going to give you the strategies, tools, and action steps you need to build a brand that’s SO stellar, you won’t even have to interview for your next job. How do I know that’s true? Because not only had I gotten my last 2 jobs that way, but I’ve helped my staff and clients do the exact same thing. One of the most fulfilling things in my life is that I get to help women find their dream jobs, while STILL having time for all of the things they love. I want you to remember that self-care is NOT self-ish and to realize that everything I just mentioned is not only possible, but we are going to have lots of fun along the way! You might be thinking “Well, that sounds great and all, but where do I start?” Exactly! In fact, did you know that if you were to go to Google Rand type in “career tips,” you would get over 4.79 BILLION results? Well, as a busy career women, you don’t have time for all that!! Why take this career journey alone when you can have your own personalized career consultant, who’s been there/done, share all of her career insider-secrets that she’s learned along the way? And if you are really struggling in your career right now, let me assure you, you are NOT alone? Did you know that according to recent surveys, only 25% of people believe they are in their dream job? Adding to that, 76% of professionals are feeling undervalued and are looking for other jobs, AND more than 50% are feeling burned out on a daily basis. With all of that in mind, can you see what a rare gift it REALLY is if you love your job? And guess what else? Your loved ones are going to be happier too, because they know that if YOU are a happy camper at work, you’re going to be happier at home too…and if you’re a mother like me, then you ALSO know “if momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!” I’m going to be with you every step of the way as we explore all of these topics and more, because doing that can make a real difference in our professional and personal lives. And do you know why? Because this is what we typically do as Career Women: We not only bust our behinds on all of the work we are supposed to do at work, but then we often become that confidante at the office. We might even feel compelled to surprise the office with donuts on a Monday, or find ourselves going the extra mile for our bosses, while also trying to help out our co-workers and colleagues. Now you would think that we would just put our feet up as soon as we get home and pour ourselves that well-deserved glass of wine, right? NOPE! We instead turn around and give the same amount of dedication and kindness we showed at work, and turn around and do the EXACT same thing just as soon as you get home. And don’t we as career women beat ourselves up if things don’t just go perfectly at work and at home? We shoulder our responsibilities AND often times feel compelled to take on the responsibilities of our loved ones, again spreading ourselves too thin. As a result, our needs get put on a back burner – don’t even get me started on our passions, which many times, end up getting lost in all of the chaos. Whether you’re a young professional just starting out or a career woman that’s been in the trenches for years this podcast is PERFECT for you! It’s going to be packed full with the kind of insider secrets that you can only know if you’ve had the experience of hiring employees, offering them promotions and sometimes, having to let them go. You see, I know what we say about you when you leave the interview. I know why we are going to https://www.youtube.com/@drdawnshoptalk/podcasts
