Caroline Wanga on the Career Path No One Tells You About | from Hello Monday

Caroline Wanga on the Career Path No One Tells You About | from Hello Monday

Careers rarely move in a straight line, and for many people, the old roadmap no longer works. In this special feed drop from LinkedIn’s Hello Monday, host Jessi Hempel sits down with Caroline Wanga for a conversation about building a career with intention, authenticity, and room to evolve.


As president and CEO of Essence Ventures and co-founder of Wanga Woman, Caroline has spent years helping people rethink success on their own terms. Before leading Essence, she spent 15 years at Target, rising from intern to the C-suite — a journey that taught her the value of continuously revisiting, reshaping, and even reinventing your career map.


Jessi and Caroline discuss:

  • 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


Caroline also shares insights from her memoir, I’m Highly Percent Sure, and offers a refreshing perspective for anyone questioning what comes next.
