What My Elders Taught Me About Work and Worth: How Forks Almost Derailed My Future

In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I begin a new series titled What My Elders Taught Me About Work and Worth.In this 15-minute episode, I share a personal story from the early days of my corporate career, when a formal business dinner revealed deep feelings of insecurity and a sense of not belonging. What helped me move forward was not corporate training or mentorship, but the wisdom and support of elders in my church community who took the time to support me in practical, meaningful ways.In this episode, I reflect on four lessons they taught me that continue to guide my life and work:Why I learned that I deserve supportHow discernment protects vulnerabilityThe importance of understanding how you developWhy declaring the impact of others mattersThis conversation is for anyone navigating new professional spaces, leadership roles, or seasons of growth where confidence feels fragile and hope is waning.🎧 If this episode resonates, please share it and leave a review.Thanks for listening.##DecidingToSoar #WorkAndWorth #YouDeserveSupport #WomenInLeadership #BlackWomenAtWork #FaithAndCareer #ConfidenceAtWork#MentorshipMatters #PersonalGrowthJourney #PurposeDrivenLife #SharRonJamison #Dare To Soar HigherWant more from SharRon and The Jamison Group?📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com📰 Justice Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Soverign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate📧 EMAIL SharRon: [email protected]💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamisonLIKE THIS EPISODE?If so, please share it with a friend.
