Listen "Episode 72: Smiles From the Unemployment Office"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Vicki Atkinson and Wynne Leon talk about identity in the unemployment office.
One of the fascinating positions that Vicki has held is as a career counselor at the unemployment office. She gives us a glimpse into how the jobs we do become our identity by
telling us the stories of some of the people who she coached.
We talk about how being a helper or a boss manifests even when someone is no longer doing that job.
I love Vicki’s powers of observation and ability to draw thru lines – talents that show up when she writes, tells stories, and in the many professional roles she has played.
So I know you’ll enjoy the scenic and beautiful places we go when we share the power of story.
We know you’ll love it.
