What if you never had to feel "stuck" in your career again?

In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Cynthia Bentzen-Mercer sits down with Gavriella Schuster, a visionary tech executive and former Microsoft leader who reinvented herself 14 times in 25 years.

Gavriella shares how she charted her path with intention—from mapping her next two jobs in advance to creating her own part-time role before "flex work" even existed. She also reveals her groundbreaking ALLY framework, helping leaders everywhere turn good intentions into real inclusion.

Key themes:

Building equity in yourself, not just your company
How to plan your career two jobs ahead
Turning setbacks into stretch opportunities
Practicing everyday allyship that actually works

Gavriella's story is proof that intentionality—and courage—are the ultimate career accelerators.
