Manage episode 516343973 series 3551802
Sarah is working to make radical changes to the future of work – specifically empowering organizations to embrace non-traditional and independent workforces, all with the goal of having an impact on the advancement of women.
On episode 9 I interviewed a woman, Neha Ruch, who is championing the Power Pause – which is a rebranded way to talk about career driven women who decide to take a career break to focus on raising their young children. There is a lot of fear around this process – being a woman and a mother and getting back in the mix after a pause, and how challenging that is in a world where employers are still stuck in industrial-age thinking. To help address those fears, we have Sarah!
In this episode we talk about:
- The concept of a portfolio career,
- Creating multiple income streams, and
- How you can use this approach to grow your career in a different way.
Spoiler alert – you still have to do some grunt work in the beginning before you can reach a point where you can focus on doing the work that really drives you and ignites your passion and makes you feel successful.
People are multi-faceted, yet we are expected to fit into a traditional mold and follow a linear path and take no breaks lest we appear unfocused or undedicated in the corporate world.
Her firm The FEAT’s mission is providing support for women and family life that goes beyond maternity leave and focuses on the return to work.
Creating real change doesn’t happen with things like internal women’s support networks. It requires a deep look at what actually drives success – hint: success isn’t dependent on how many hours you’re sitting at your desk in the office anymore.
FEAT is a female focused endeavor triggered by Sarah’s realization that there is a large group of untapped talent - independent women not actively working. It then grew into both men and women asking the question - How do we remove the stigma of “independent work” – independent contractors.
How do we measure productivity and talent in a new way?
Why you should stay until the end:
Make sure you listen all the way through, because Sarah has answers to these incredibly important questions and more.
Enjoy the show and Stay Driven!
