Show Notes
Today we’re celebrating!
I always encourage you to notice and acknowledge your progress, and celebrate how far you’ve come. Today I’m taking my own advice. This is Episode 50. And that is reason to celebrate!
I’ll be recapping the messages and themes in this podcast over the last year. And I’ll highlight many of the topics we’ve covered that carry those messages and themes.
Looking back, it brings me satisfaction and joy to recollect all the episodes I’ve been able to share with you. If you’re a new listener, this is a perfect way to get a flavor for the show. And if you’re a veteran listener, thank you. I hope you enjoy this reminiscence.
Is Your Engineering Career All That You Want It to Be?
I know you want a fulfilling engineering career. You want to make a meaningful contribution and have an impact. If you’re listening to this podcast, you probably feel that you’re not quite there yet.
You probably have room to grow and improve in your career. And you seek that improvement. You’re intentional about bettering yourself as a person, an engineer, and a leader.
Maybe you’ve already made good progress, but you hope to really shift into high gear. To be able to apply your strengths and passion. To reach that ultimate fulfillment and know you’re realizing your best self.
I love to hear this from you. Because this is why I’ve created Her Engineering Career Podcast. I know what it’s like when you get to a certain point and don’t know what to do next. I know what it’s like to be a little lost at certain points in your career.
And I know what it’s like when you feel you have more potential but can’t seem to reach it.
These are the reasons for this podcast.
Important Messages for Your Career Strategy
Here are the key messages that you’ve been hearing from me in many of my episodes. These are the important messages for your career strategy.
