I am SO excited for this week’s new episode with the incredibly Katy Culver, AND *the new branding*!

* This week, Katy and I both reflected on our journeys in consulting- the good, the bad and the, well necessary experiences we had to go through in order to be able to offer any halfway decent career advice and help the next generation of professionals.

* Katy discusses how revisiting her old journals helped uncover some long-held dreams and get better aligned in her business.

* The absolutely crucial role that mindset plays in navigating career changes, starting something new, and fulfilling your full potential in your life & career.

* The strategy Katy’s used for growing her personal brand between Twitter & LinkedIn, highlighting how consistent writing and engagement have been key to her success.

* Our thoughts on manifestation, the importance of a clear vision, and saying those difficult “no’s” to things that don’t align with your goals can be a game-changer in your personal and professional life.

Brave and willing to share your embarrassing work story so we can all feel a bit better about the dumb sh*t we do at work? Don’t worry, all stories remain anonymous- neither of us wants to get a call from your boss.

If you feel so compelled to share this week’s episode with a friend, and subscribe on Youtube, I would love that.

- We discuss the importance of being comfortable with being multifaceted in your personal and professional life, and how Brittany embraces her role's complexities, proving that one title doesn't define you.

- Brittany offers insights into what an HR Business Partner (HRBP)/People Business Partner (PBP) does and why the role is crucial for bridging the gap between the business and the people & why HR is not the enemy!

- She opens up about her struggles and the enlightening moment that prompted her to make her dream of moving back to New York a reality.

- Brittany provides valuable advice on finding joy in your career, being compassionate toward others, and the importance of having patience with yourself when making significant changes.

This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing a friend and colleague, Nina Chichelo, a full-time marketing manager and the founder of her own marketing agency, Allorable. We talked about her winding career journey from aspiring to work on the Tonight Show, to launching her career in marketing and eventually her own agency.

* Nina shared her personal experience of going through 2 layoffs and how those difficult moments pushed her to start her agency, while starting a new, full time role (crazy right? when does she sleep!)

* What the film industry’s structure of pre-production, production and post-production taught Nina about her career likes and dislikes, and how she developed a work ethic that helped her outshine the competition later in her career.

* How she pivoted from the TV industry into digital marketing during Covid when she needed to transfer her skills to something she could do working from home.

* Some of our fav past career blunders; special shout out to: crying at work in the open floor plan & how to deal with terrible managers.

* We ended the conversation with her valuable advice on digesting your failures to learn from them, learning to delegate, and the importance of leaning on your network for support when you need it.
