Dr. Jim and Lawrence welcome Stephanie Davis to Cascading Leadership to discuss navigating a career change as a mid-career professional. 

Stephanie speaks from her own experience on how to switch functional areas of expertise and what factors to consider when making a transition in a career.

Dr. Jim transitions to talking about the difficulty of transitioning from one career to another, especially when compounded with issues of race and gender.

Dr. Jim interviews Stephanie, a former financial services professional, to discuss her transition from finance to her current career. Stephanie had always been interested in money and business and decided to pursue a degree in economics and finance. 

She started out in financial services and eventually transitioned to her current career. She talks about the challenges she faced navigating the change and provides advice to others who may be looking to do the same. 

She encourages people to take opportunities and be open to possibilities, while also reminding them to take time to understand the industry they're entering and build relationships. She also emphasizes the importance of knowing yourself and your strengths and weaknesses.
