EP14: Connecting Career & Confidence with Sara Reed

Jul 13, 2018

Going through the divorce process and what comes after can be quite challenging. Having a dependable career and confidence in advocating yourself helps a lot in bringing normalcy and stability in this time.

In this episode, Sara Reed shares her in-depth knowledge from an HR standpoint on how women can elevate themselves in the workforce. We talk about tips for women who are looking to re-enter the workforce and women who are looking to increase their cash flow.

As women, we should learn to have the confidence and belief in ourselves that we have valuable skills that are valuable in the workforce and that we deserve to receive proper compensation.

Sara reminds us…

You need to believe in you before anyone else can.

 

Top Takeaways:

For women who wants to re-enter the workforce:

• Look at your experiences in managing your home, volunteer work, passions, interests, and intangible qualities to build up your resume
• Think of people in your circle, utilize your connections, and get recommendations where you can find work rather than looking at job boards.
• The importance of your attitude, activity, and actions in this season
• Other than traditional jobs, you can also consider starting a business, network marketing, consulting, or doing temp work

For women looking to increase their current income and opportunities:

• Evaluate your current conditions and see what direction you really want to go
• Why, how, and when to ask for a raise and advocate for yourself at work
• The importance of having financial clarity about the divorce process and after
• How having a real and honest conversation with your employer about your current situation can help with your productivity and benefit the company
