As we look back on our careers, it becomes clear that there's no way to forecast every change that will come our way. Industries shift, trends come and go and we can't pretend to know it all. How can we identify our blind spots and fill the gaps of what we don't know?
This episode's guest, Kelly Rossman-McKinney, is an experienced communicator with more than a few notches in her belt. From former co-founder and retired CEO of a PR firm to current communications director for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (with a legislative run in between), Kelly has a detailed background in communicating, writing and speaking strategically. But just like any of us, there's a long list of things she wishes she had known starting out in her career.
How can acknowledging our blind spots help us grow in our careers? Kelly shares how her industry has shifted over the decades, what she learned from a legislative run and her advice for entrepreneurs searching for the elusive and unattainable work-life balance.
