Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 75 with Stephanie Klein

Join me for the career reflections of Stephanie Klein, founder and president of Experience Factor. She begins her journey relying on her strengths, her soft skills: connecting with people, communicating and organizing. Leading her to roles in human resources, staffing, then running her own staffing business. She describes at least three “ass kicking, sole searching” moments where her thriving business comes to a full stop. All due to events way outside of her control, a recession, an embezzlement, and now the pandemic. Learn how she pivots, rebrands and moves forward. What’s served her best: her ability to pivot, to be flexible and work on, and develop, her response to things. Her words of wisdom, based on years working with people looking for work: “the world is moving super fast, you need to be able to pivot to move forward.  Keep a growth mindset versus getting angry about what you’ve lost or how you think things should be.”
