Holding onto limiting ideas and beliefs while trying to break with social norms and standards can be challenging.  It's important for us to question and interrogate why we have these beliefs and examine how they limit us from expanding our horizons.

In the pursuit of careers, especially in the STEM fields, one of the biggest gaps in professional development is the lack of leadership training during the early parts of the journey.  While these skills are important in helping you to advance in your career, they're also relevant in helping you overcome obstacles, negotiate changes both at work and in your personal life, and prioritize your goals.  In this episode, we discuss this gap and the ways in which Defiance Academy is hoping to bridge it for the next generation.
