Design Your Dream Career
This podcast is where I share all the behind-the-scenes processes, actions, and inner mindset work that goes on to build my dream career.
My career has seen me take on roles as an economic researcher, recruiter, HR leader, cafe owner, writer, online course creator, freelance and in-house trainer. I’ve always followed my intuition to do what I’m passionate about and figured out how to make it work.
I’ve been in discussions where hiring/firing, promotion/demotion, bonus/salary and people decisions are made. After 3-decades of doing this work, I use my experience and skills to help women design their dream careers as a way to give back and make a difference in the world.
As my career continues to evolve, I know I can do work I’m passionate about without sacrificing time with my family or providing a good life for them. If a regular mom like me can do it, so can you.
I offer free coaching calls with moms who want to design their dream careers. Click the link in my Featured Section or go here: https://calendly.com/sharonsinghsidhu/call
