#3 Vanessa Jarrett - Grow through mentoring
“People have a tendency sometimes to really hold back - what if I do this or if I do that? Sometimes just to be more efficient we have to take that moderate risk and set those goals and just do it.”
Vanessa Jarrett is a career coach and leadership trainer with over 20 years’ experience. She has a real interest and deep experience in helping people craft their continued professional development, elevate their leadership and make career transitions. Vanessa is the VP mentoring of PWN and also acting president.
In the episode we talked about:
- Public speaking and how to feel more comfortable when talking to an audience.
- Career transition, what are the signals that it’s time to change and move on to something else
- Mentoring and The PWN mentoring Program. We talked about the benefits of being a mentor also the concept of reverse mentoring.
- Different types of personality. Vanessa took us into the details of one of the most famous personality test MBTI. Vanessa explained how people may have different preferences, for example on how they manage information, how they make decisions and that there is no right or wrong.
