Lean Out & Blaze A Revolutionary Path Forward (Marissa Orr)

Marissa Orr, a former Google & Facebook executive, shares her story of choosing the leave the corporate world and channel her energy into writing her book. Now a bestselling author and leadership speaker, Marissa joins us in our continuing series of mental health in the workplace, describing the impact felt at having spent 15 years working at and leaving today’s top tech giants. She has since conducted talks for thousands of people in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, at companies and universities such as Google, Twitter, Pace University, New School, American Express, and more. She shares her frustration with the corporate workplace whose power struggle environment stifles life core values that could have been an asset to the company, and instead become a toxic competition instead of thriving. Originally from Miami, she received her Master’s degree in Decision and Information Sciences from the University of Florida. A single Mom to 3 young children, she transformed her life after being fired from Facebook and distanced herself from continuing her corporate life to pouring her lessons learned into her best-selling book, "Lean Out, The Truth About Women, Power, & the Workplace" that enlightens on how to blaze a revolutionary path forward with the power to change the lives of men and women in the corporate world and beyond. ————————————————————————— Today's episode of Hope to Recharge is sponsored by https://Betterhelp.com/hopetorecharge.  Betterhelp.com is the world’s leading provider of online therapy.
