In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. How to combine multiple passions into one career
2. Why we need a variety of mentors and sponsors who may look and sound very different from us
3. The key steps to realizing the beauty of “career joy”

QUOTABLES:

• “Mentors can look and sound very different. They don't have to always look like you. If they do, great, and you're able to get something out of them...fantastic. If they don't, that's okay, too. The fact is that as human beings we're more alike than we think actually and so the moment you can give space for people to contribute to your life and be open to receiving that then the more sort of places you can connect. I fundamentally believe in humanity and that people are constantly probably more looking for how to help rather than how to hurt.”
• “Unfortunately, we’ve turned forming relationships (or networking) as a transaction, but it’s about finding points of connection.
• “Finding career joy really is being in a place where you’re using what’s most natural to you to drive forward the agenda of your organization to contribute value in a way that is super tangible. But also to do that in a way that you are growing yourself and you’re also achieving your own goals.”
• “Many of us are constantly living out somebody else’s life, unfortunately.”

MARY’S MAJOR KEY:

“Self-Awareness! Just know yourself and to thyself, be true.” Who are you and how are you going to show up as your full self at home and at work?
