Build Your Brave Career for Women in Tech

Nicole had this idea, a podcast to share timeless stories, including her own, to be of greater service to others. But where to start and how to go about starting a podcast? She sought help in the form of a podcast manager named Laila and now almost 30 episodes into this adventure together and the end of season 1 in sight it was high time to bring Laila from behind the curtain and in front of the stage to hear her brave story.

It turned out to be an emotional (with tears and lots of laughter) retelling of Laila’s journey as an introverted administrative assistant pretending to be an extrovert to be able to survive in the corporate world which ultimately lead to a burnout and a lot of learning about herself. Extensive therapy and reading books about introverts gave Laila the direction and the drive to change her career at the age of 50.

Happier than she has ever been she has immersed herself in podcast management, the tech of editing, the supporting of clients and having a blast while doing this.

One of the questions Nicole always asks her guests is who their Brave role model is and this time it is not at all a person you expect to be a brave role model.
