From Lost Job to New Opportunity with Taylor Harrington

Inside-Out Career Design Podcast

On "Inside-Out Career Design" this week, hosts Nicola Vetter & Peter Axtell speak with Taylor Harrington

Are you willing to show up again and again and do the hard work, not just winging it?

Do you believe that helping others succeed with no strings attached will make this world a better place? Taylor Harrington is wise beyond her years. At 26, she is curious, intelligent, inspiring, and enthusiastic. Her willingness to show up, talk to people, create community and be bold landed her a job with the legendary Seth Godin that led to personal meetings with other inspiring leaders like Simon Sinek. But then she lost her dream job two years later and had to regroup. It’s an inspiration for all.

In our conversation we talk about…

• how she not only figured out what’s next but how to put it into words in a clear and meaningful way,
• how she applied for a job with Seth Godin when he had already hired someone else but then was so taken with Taylor that he hired her anyway,
• how out of the blue she lost her dream job and then created another dream job,
• how writing down aha moments and then reflecting on them helped her figure out what’s next and then acting on that,
• why surrounding yourself with people who want to see and help you succeed is critical,

and why having a clear vision (a North Star) and being able to articulate that to others is so important.
