Manage episode 483637691 series 2490161
It’s easy to feel lost in your career, especially as the world around us keeps shifting. Whether you’re starting over, seeking purpose, or just unsure what your next move is, this episode is for you.
This week, Jessi Hempel sits down with Caroline Wanga, president and CEO of Essence Ventures and co-founder of Wanga Woman. Caroline is a dynamic leader and an unapologetic champion of authenticity. She joins Jessi to share her approach to building a career map – not just once, but continuously throughout your life.
Before leading Essence, Caroline spent 15 years at Target, rising from intern to C-suite executive. Today, she’s focused on democratizing authenticity through her personal purpose, her leadership, and her new memoir, I’m Highly Percent Sure.
Jessi and Caroline dig deep into:
Why your “next right move” may not look like anyone else’s
Why playing with your career map, not perfecting it, leads to clarity
How, and when, Caroline has created her own career maps
The role of authenticity in leadership and life
What it really takes to live and work with personal purpose
Tools and mindsets for building a meaningful career in today’s world
