  1. Kym Dakin on “Portfolio Careers” (or Saying Yes to Life) – Episode #033 Jennie O'Connor / Kym Dakin 1:03:56

#033 – Join Jennie for the “what’s in a name” episode where she talks with coach and corporate trainer Kym Dakin, who also boasts a background in performing arts, radio, audiobooks and writing. Kym describes a new way to talk about our professional lives – as “portfolio careers.” Jennie thinks this is exactly what Everything Enthusiasts should call their varied and diverse work histories from now on! In this episode, the ladies discuss:

  • forming an identity in a noisy world when it’s hard to hear your own thoughts,
  • how Kym got comfortable with improvisational acting (by far the scariest kind, in Jennie’s opinion),
  • Pecha Kucha as an innovative story-telling modality,
  • and getting things done by spending just 15 more minutes (this is GOLD, y’all).

Listen to Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk about power stances.

This is the Positive Intelligence Program Kym is currently taking.

Her book on listening styles, Don’t Trust Your Ears, is due to out in 2022.

Nick Rimsa, of Tortoise Labs is the man who helped Kym start and grow her bookmarking app, Nugget. You can learn more about that at YourNugget.com.
