Martha joins me today to share how she handled the transitions she made from being a hands-on, stay-at-home mom for eight years to working back in the corporate world. She explains why fun is a compelling career strategy and how vital your primary relationships are in the advancement of your career. She also shares some practical advice on creating opportunities for seats to open up at the table of your organization instead of passively waiting for one.
