413: Using Your Values to Make Career Decisions

Knowing your values can ground your decision making and make career choices and your life easier.

Values are the lens through which you will look for an answer; the compass that guides you.  
Identify your top values 
Ask yourself: does your current career path reflect those values? 
If not, what change do you need to make?
If you feel like you need to make a change, you now have a compass for your action plan.

407: Planning Your Career for Different Eras of Life

Women are often told they can do or be anything. While that is certainly true sometimes we interpret this to mean that we must be everything, at all times.  
How often do you take the time to map out your career anticipating the different stages of your life? How do you plan or pivot when it’s time for something new? 
Dr. Violeta Garcia, systems designer and founder of Ecosistema Design talks with Diana Bernal about how to view your career through the different eras in your life. We talk about getting out of your comfort zone to try new things or even launch a business
