88. Keeping Your Seat at the Table with Nori Jabba: Ageism, Confidence, & Courage

Nori Jabba joins Yo to discuss her book Keeping Your Seat at the Table, A memoir and guide on Regaining Confidence in Middle Age. Together they explore ageism, strategic partnerships and hero lists. Nori explains the many aspects of The Table as a theme throughout her book. There were so many cleaver table uses like “Flip The Table”, “Don’t Table Yourself”, “Don’t Get Pulled Under the Table” discussed in the episode. Nori’s story is sure to be inspirational no matter your age!   Here are the 3 Episode Takeaways:   1.   Ageism is real so don’t “table” yourself: take your seat at the head of your own table and surround yourself with your peeps (aka strategic partners). 2.   The worry about money is real: factor this into your career planning as early as you can. 3.   Be courageous: put your graduation years on your resume!   We hope you’ll enjoy this episode!   As mentioned in the episode:   Nori’s book, Keeping Your Seat at the Table   More about Nori:   Nori Jabba grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area.
