Episode 12: No Crying in the Boardroom: Following The Thread of Passion

Welcome to the Confident podcast with me, Sheri West, and my fearless daughter, Olivia. Season 5 brings us more conversations with fierce female leaders. We’ll be tackling a range of career readiness and leadership topics ranging from defining your career purpose to leveraging your superpowers, and exploring key questions, like, is it okay to cry in the boardroom?

This week Sheri and Olivia discuss following your passion with Community Reinvestment Officer at M&T Bank, Carolyn Gonzalez.

Carolyn Gonzalez has devoted most of her career to community and economic development in Connecticut and especially, her hometown, Bridgeport. Carolyn was ALSO a founding member of Groundwork Bridgeport and the Greater Bridgeport Latino Network in 2003.

As always, stay true to yourself, stay kind, stay confident and show up as your best self every day!
