1. Spotting The Clues: Learning from the Ups and Downs of Early Career Exploration w/ Kathy Marchi

In this episode, we're talking with Kathy Marchi, the Chief Executive Officer and President of Samaritans, Inc., which focuses on preventing suicide and providing hope. Kathy had a lot to share with us about her journey, from the way her early career shaped how she manages and leads, supporting people and first identifying what they need and then learning to ask for it, to the necessity of surrounding yourself with people who have different strengths from you.

We dive into the unpredictable early stages of a career, where self-discovery meets trial and error. Kathy shares personal stories of unexpected kindness and pivotal mistakes that shaped her professional journey. From realizing a job isn't the right fit to receiving valuable advice on navigating career transitions, these experiences offer a candid look at the challenges many face in the early years of their careers. Join us as we explore the clues hidden within the ups and downs of finding one's path in the professional world.

I hope you'll find something here to support you on your journey as Kathy shares what she tells herself from where she is today.

I also want to acknowledge that my perspective is one of privilege as a cis, hetero, white woman. While I make every effort to ensure I'm well informed beyond my bubble - I will make mistakes. It is never my intention to harm, and always my intention to repair and learn from mistakes I've made. While sometimes our mistakes are obvious, others need to be pointed out so that we can see and learn from them. I welcome your feedback on these issues and promise to do my best to be respectful, receptive and to continue learning from you.
