Taking A Career Pause

Most professional women, at some point in their lives, have had, or consider a career break. But that does not have to mean the end of their careers.  In this short episode, our host Swati Apte talks about the reality of career breaks – the fear and the self doubt that accompanies it, and how that narrative is slowly changing.  Swati addresses the common myths surrounding career breaks, and offers real, actionable insights into overcoming them.  Thoughtful, practical, and reassuring, this episode empowers women to claim their pause without apology and re-enter the world of work on their own terms.    Credits:  Host: Swati Apte / Dr. Sangeetha Rajan About The Arts Quotient The Arts Quotient is a leadership development firm powered by the two founders’ collective experience of over 50 years across business strategy, operations, psychology, law, communications, and more.
