Ep 32 - Career (& Life!) Advancement w/ The Forem

In a bit of a career rut? Feeling like investing in yourself but unsure how to get the most bang for your buck? Want a personalized program that also allows you to engage with others? Curious how these types of programs and businesses even get started?! This episode covers career advancement and development programming soup to nuts with Alli Young and Katie O’Malley from the Forem. Alli is the Founder and CEO of the Forem, and Katie is their newly appointed Chief Revenue Officer; they are also both former Google colleagues. The Forem is a platform of career advancement programs which teach you how to raise your visibility, maximize your opportunities and open new doors in your career. They believe in giving YOU the tools you need to navigate and accelerate your career. I’ve participated in several of their programs and have to say the approach is unique, personal and actionable -- and most importantly not at all one of these overwhelming career development programs in terms of commitment and mindspace. Throughout our discussion we talk about Alli’s impetus for starting The Forem, she describes some of their top programs including The 5 Skills to Advance a Career, we dissect the cost of “having it all” (spoiler alert -- there’s always a cost but there is power in choosing, and being ok with, that cost). Together we explore unpacking fear and reframing what success means. This conversation will be a bright spot in your day and The Forem will make you nerd-out on wanting to invest in yourself and refine some critical skill sets, I promise.
