Hear Rachel talk about:
🇺🇸 Congress taught her many things:
• The difference between policy and politics. Politics helped her to get things done.
• How to deal with power and powerful people, even when you are naturally confident.
• And importantly, governing is hard.
⏰ Deciding when it’s time to leave:
• Deciding how much is enough.
• And the importance of making a clean break.
🗣 Advice she gives to friends (that she is learning to take herself):
• It is hard to ask….AND ….you need to ask.
📡 What she has learned while networking:
• People who want to help you will surprise you.
Rachel’s closing advice to other women is what she advises to her friends – when looking for a new job – show up as your authentic self. Culture fit is important and, for Rachel, a key criteria for where she intends to be next!
