What if your first dream career isn't your last? Today we're exploring the art of the professional pivot with Shannon Russell, founder of Second Act Success.

Now, as a Certified Career Coach, podcast host, and course creator, Shannon helps women in unfulfilling careers design their own professional pivots. Spoiler alert…she’s also a BrandFace client, and we’ll hear how she feels about her journey and her brand.
