Jeopardy-Style Career Lessons 01: Passion, Bad Bosses, and Big Leaps

Feeling stuck, curious, or ready to pivot? In this Jeopardy-style episode of the Aleutian Atlas Podcast, Annie and Michelle play with categories like Workplace Survival Skills, Bad Manager Habits, Allies & Advocates, Mentor Moments, and Take the Leap—using real stories to map the messy, non-linear terrain of modern careers. If you’re plotting a pivot, craving meaning where you are, or simply need permission to try something new, this conversation offers tools, encouragement, and a few great metaphors for the road ahead. Sit back and enjoy stories that highlight:   *Passion is a skill multiplier (and contagious). *Public shaming kills learning; psychological safety fuels it. *Advocacy in action: building community and visibility for women in accounting. *Meetings that share the mic: small facilitation tweaks, big inclusion gains. *“Run fast and light”: momentum, agility, and the power of letting go. *Reinvention is normal: pause, pivot, and try again. *Bold moves rarely make sense on paper—and often change everything.   Annie mentions a mentor in this episode named David Warren that you can follow here: www.linkedin.com/in/cdavidwarrenjr/
