S8 E139: How Do You Own Your Career Development?

Latika is often asked the question, 'how do I own my career development?' when meeting with a group of working moms. Many of them, are unfamiliar with navigating corporate America while balancing home life. Although they desire to advance in their careers, they are often left with self-doubt, fear, guilt, and imposter syndrome because many organizations are not equipped to support them.  If you have been following Latika then you know that she was once in their shoes. After having her 4th child, she desperately needed clarity on what she wanted to do in her career and where she wanted to work. For many years she helped others design their Career Vision and pursue it, but it often left her unfulfilled because fear kept her trapped behind the terminology, "working mother." But, today, Latika dares you to change your mindset from anxious and doubtful that you can excel in your career to being fulfilled because you are doing something you love and are doing it on purpose.  But, how do you get there?  To recognize National Career Development Day and Week, Latika shares 7 Steps to Owning your Career Development in this episode of The Latika Vines Show.
