Being intentional with your career, making big career changes, and bouncing back from the techsession with Stephanie Kiman, Sr. Marketing Programs Manager at SAP (Ep. 136)

In this episode, we’re doing a deep dive with Stephanie Kiman (Sr. Marketing Programs Manager at SAP).  We discuss:  - Why winging it in your career can work for a while, but ultimately will not lead to happiness or fulfillment.  - How the “techsession” led to unexpected layoffs and how to bounce back. - Why making agreements with yourself ahead of time can help with making big career changes like moving to another city, changing to a different industry, and pivoting to a new specialization.  - How growing up with refugee parents from Cambodia created the pressure to make safe decisions. - The importance of therapy in healing generational trauma and enjoying the luxury of taking calculated risks and going for your dreams.  - How to build an entirely new network when you move to a different city and industry.  - How working with a career coach can help you find your “why,” get clarity, and take action to achieve your dreams faster.
