As a result of the pandemic, many of us are no longer working the same job or even the same industry anymore. For some, the choice to pivot wasn’t optional but for others the pandemic pulled back the curtain on what was truly important in life and that has left us with a gut feeling that we are made for more. But, do we really have what it takes to pivot? In this episode of ‘But, What If You Did’ the Podcast, Alyson Pallanck is joined by Emily De Silva of Cultivated Talent to chat all things networking, an applicant's hard & soft skills, building professional relationships in the workplace, and mentorships. As someone who co-founded a new company mid-pandemic, for Emily, failure is nothing but data for those who don’t allow the fear of failure to win against their chances in life.
Ready to hit your reset button on your professional life, join Alyson and Emily for tangible tips on how to do just that!
