  1. Career Advice For Times Of Great Change – From 5 Electric Ladies Joan Michelson 49:09

“You need to be looking 360 in terms of industry, what’s developing, what’s coming down the pike from a Technology standpoint, from a risk standpoint. You should be educating yourself constantly and stretching yourself to go into a new area. Don’t just be content to sit and do the same thing….Push yourself to do something a little different, stretch…because that broadens you as a professional, first of all. It’s just so much more interesting than doing the same thing every day. But, it also makes you a better professional… because you are seeing things that the other people who are just doing the same old, same old, aren’t necessarily seeing.” Tara Giunta on Electric Ladies Podcast
