Government to Private Sector: Carol Kim

“Life is about finding yourself, embracing your strengths and weaknesses, and being true to who you are.” — Oprah Winfrey

A chance internship led to a career in public policy. So, young and ambitious, she worked on The Hill, in the federal government. But then change called, so she came back to LA and worked for LA County. But there was a problem, what do you do, when you're well-established but have limited growth opportunities?

It's so easy to stay where you are comfortable, where you know the people, where you like doing certain parts of the job but maybe not everything. It's easy to stay with the devil you know, as opposed to the one you don't.

If you've ever found yourself wondering how to navigate career changes or if you can make a difference in your community, come listen to Carol tell you how she did it, and you might just walk away with a few new ideas of your own as you listen to "We Are, So You Can."
