Jennifer Doty | Building a Portfolio Career and Leading with Purpose

I am so excited to share my conversation with Jennifer Doty with you all. Jennifer spent 20 years climbing the corporate ladder, but her story is about much more than just business. She shares the big lesson she learned when she had to lead a technology team while knowing zero about tech—it taught her how to get "comfortable being uncomfortable". We dive deep into personal development and how Jennifer had to "reprogram" her brain. For a long time, her whole identity was just her job title. After losing her job and going through a divorce, she used therapy, coaching, and meditation to find out who she really was and what she truly wanted. She explains how these habits helped her stop being "stuck" and start creating a life she actually loves. Jennifer also talks about her "portfolio career". This means she has her main job, but she also runs a side business based on a health product she is passionate about. She shares how having more than one way to make money gave her family security and freedom. Finally, we talk about servant leadership. Jennifer believes a great leader shines a light on others so they can see their own potential. She tells amazing stories about making hard choices that were best for her team, even when it was scary for her own career.
