EXPLORING LEADERSHIP PATHS IN STEM

Really excited to launch a new podcast coming this fall!

This one won’t be hosted by me but it will be produced by me and you can get sneak peak into what’s coming.

This podcast will be hosted by Imani Porter who currently works on the Outreach Committee for my nonprofit, NALA(STEM).

This podcast will be focused on diving deeper into STEM careers and the diversity and journey of these amazing people.

I had the honor of interviewing Imani Porter for this episode of the podcast. She is a genetics PhD student at Stanford School of Medicine and host of the NALA STEM Podcast.

NEW RISK-FREE CAREER COACHING OPPORTUNITY!

One of the number one reason that people don’t seek out career coaching is they’re worried if it’s going to be worth the amount of money they’re paying and if they’ll actually get results.

I know that and I want to help some of you who may be skeptical by assuming all of risk.

What do I mean?

Well, you will pay $0 for career coaching until you land your job!

BUT… there’s 2 things you have to do

1. You need to be engaged and active in the process. If you’re not, I reserve the right to drop you as a client at any moment. This is a partnership, we ride together we di… lose together.

2. You will need to either write or record a review about your experiences. Whatever you’re more comfortable with.

That’s it besides that. You’ll get full access to me in helping with your career transition/ job search and the cost will be 20-30% of the sign-on bonus from your future job offer.

That’s it! So what are you waiting for? Reply to this email to let me know you’re interested or email [email protected]!
