A Later-in-Life Career Renaissance and the Power of Strengths-Based Coaching

August 30, 2021 • Emily Tsitrian • Season 1 • Episode 6

Jo Halstead believes that people managers can make or break a company - and that new managers rarely get any real training on how to take care of their team, themselves, and the company. Let's change that!

Jo currently manages a team of client success individuals for a large digital health company, but over her life her work has been varied - spanning 40+ years in hospitality, nonprofits, and wellness/digital health. Across all of those fields, she's managed teams of people with the goal of helping them grow and flourish. Along the way, she's earned a pair of Masters degrees, a PMP certification, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt credentials - wow!

Jo and I have a great discussion about a later-in-life career renaissance and the value of non-traditional work history, and how we can better support our LGBTQ+ people managers in tech.
