The Breakout – Unleashing Personal Growth

Aug 16 2023 • 32 mins

When we start our corporate careers, no one gives us any tools on how to enter the working world as a female. And I'm coming back in my mid-forties to say, here's some of the resources I wish I would've had”.  Jennifer Pestikas is a senior VP in financial services, but after battling burnout she realized how many other women also struggle with balance, and being able to thrive in their careers. That’s when she established Brave Women at Work, where she’s made it her mission to help women navigate their careers  and get what they want from their jobs.

On this episode, Jen shares what inspired her to start Brave Women at Work, and explains why so many women battle imposter syndrome, or have trouble growing in their careers, and asking for what they deserve. She also explains why we need a new word for quitting.

The Breakout is hosted by people and change experts, Dr. Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther. Keri and Kelly are founders of Abbracci Group, a results-driven coaching and consulting firm focused on getting the best out of people. Join them as they get advice and insights from change experts, and dive into the stories of people who have busted out of life’s stifling boxes and shifted their lives into bold new territory.
