Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 137 with Chelle Johnson

Join me for the career reflections of Chelle Johnson, executive career coach & fractional talent officer. Her dream to be a broadcast journalist is dashed in college with feelings of inadequacy after assessing herself against her classmates.   Not one to pitch a tent in pity, she switches majors to speech communications leading to opportunities in Spain, Japan and Mexico. While completing a master’s in international management, she’s exposed to courses and an internship in organizational development setting her on a career path in human resources across a variety of companies and industries. A couple of decades of corporate experience -- success & failures -- is why she is perfectly positioned as an executive career coach & fractional talent offer. What’s served Chelle best: “Having grit and being persistent. Continuing to move forward.” Her words of wisdom come from her time walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain: “No matter where you are in life, there’s going to be mountains."
