Episode Synopsis
Register for the 3rd Annual Virtual Summit for Working Moms, Real Talk: The Realities of Work & Life Balance HERE.
Have you ever been told that it isn't your turn to obtain a promotion or job? Have you ever felt overlooked for a position? Working mothers, around the world, have been told the most hurtful things regarding their career path; but what do they do with what has been said? How do they move forward after feeling betrayed by their employer?
In this episode of The Latika Vines Show, our guest, Sharrelle Higgins shares her experiences of over 30 years in public service as a Federal Government employee. During her tenure, she has experienced racism, sexism, and hurtful comments, but it hasn't stopped her from gaining additional experience and moving up the career ladder. Using her experience, she encourages working moms to not despise the box people (employers) place them in, but to grow from it and gain a strong mentor that can help them grow along the way.
Sharrelle is an experienced Founder with a demonstrated history of working in the professional training & coaching industry. She is a wife of more than 30 years, mother to two exceptional children, Life Coach, and Public Speaker.
