Episode 72: Smiles From the Unemployment Office
from Sharing the Heart of the Matter · host SharingHoTM
In this episode, Vicki Atkinson and Wynne Leon talk about identity in the unemployment office. One of the fascinating positions that Vicki has held is as a career counselor at the unemployment office. She gives us a glimpse into how the jobs we do become our identity by telling us the stories of some of the people who she coached. We talk about how being a helper or a boss manifests even when someone is no longer doing that job. I love Vicki’s powers of observation and ability to draw thru lines – talents that show up when she writes, tells stories, and in the many professional roles she has played. So I know you’ll enjoy the scenic and beautiful places we go when we share the power of story. We know you’ll love it.
