EP 113: Reignite Your Light with Dr. Kim Warren Martin Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Most people believe fulfillment is a rare by-product of success and that you're lucky if you get to experience it. Dr. Kim Warren Martin argues against that mentality. As a former engineer, she sees things formulaically and has discovered that fulfillment is not a fantasy—it's a formula. Having a formula means you don’t have to sacrifice your success for fulfillment, nor do you have to sacrifice your fulfillment for success. In this SWE Diverse episode, Dr. Kim and Heather Doty, FY21 SWE President, discuss how you can #HaveItAll...as long as you're the one who defines what "it all" means to you.
