@KaitlinS Let’s talk! 🙏🏻

A week from tomorrow, I begin teaching (for the 7th time!) a grad course called Purpose to Practice. It’s about finding your purpose — then putting it into practice through story, networking, portfolio presentations, interviewing, negotiating your worth, first 90 days & more.

Biden’s basically giving Tr*mp notes on what he maybe could get away with.

robber barron trump?

What tools or resources did you use to discover your purpose or calling? How do you keep that drive central to your practice? What do you wish you knew earlier in *your* career?
