Jen McCollum '91 Part 2: Quieting the Inner Critic to Create Career Success

How do you quiet the inner critic inside your head? What are the external biases that women face and how might they prevent us from achieving our aspirations? What are the three things that women need to feel good about their work? How can you keep your inner critic from sabotaging your career? If those questions interest you, you’ll enjoy my conversation with Jen McCollum ‘91, the CEO of Catalyst, a powerful organization that helps institutions address systemic workplace challenges in gender equity. This is part 2 of my conversation with Jen, so if you haven’t heard her earlier episode, make sure to listen to that one as well. In partnership with the Wake Women podcast, Jen will be a keynote speaker at the REACH womens’ conference in Winston-Salem on April 23 2025.
