BYP 281: How to Put Yourself First and Take Control of Your Career with Laurie Ruettimann

Laurie Ruettimann is a former Human Resources leader turned speaker, entrepreneur, and writer. She has been recognized by CNN as one of the top 5 career advisors in the US.  With all that has happened in the past year, the crazy burnout rates, and the many people now redefining boundaries, I knew I had to bring Laurie onto the show. Before leaving the corporate world, she experienced extreme burnout. She wasn't sleeping, moving her body, or respecting who she was as a person. When she committed to putting herself and her wellbeing first, a snowball effect was put into play. Laurie is a powerhouse, so you won't want to miss our conversation today.
