The human spirit’s capacity to overcome adversity is strong, especially in today’s guest, MaryBeth Clare. She sits down with Dr. Hoby Wedler to discuss the setbacks she faced after losing her vision, and how those were replaced by the determination and desire to grow that have kept her going in her role as lead cashier and stocker for the military Base Supply Center at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. She describes how her commitment led her to flourish in her job, winning Employee of the Year at Envision Xpress and the Peter J. Salmon Award from National Industries for the Blind in 2023.
MaryBeth’s dedication to learning, adapting, and embracing new skills, such as mastering Braille and pursuing higher education, reflects her unwavering commitment to personal growth and self-improvement. Through her perseverance, she not only transformed her own life but also became an advocate for inclusivity and empowerment in the workplace. Listen in to hear why finding purpose in your work is so important, and how you can implement MaryBeth’s optimistic mindset in your own career journey.
