What My Elders Taught Me About Work and Worth: How Forks Almost Derailed My Future
About this episode
SharRon Jamison shares lessons learned from elders about work and worth during her early corporate career.
In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way , I begin a new series titled What My Elders Taught Me About Work and Worth . In this 15-minute episode, I share a personal story from the early days of my corporate career, when a formal business dinner revealed deep feelings of insecurity and a sense of not belonging. What helped me move forward was not corporate training or mentorship, but the wisdom and support of elders in my church community who took the time to support me in practical, meaningful ways. In this episode, I reflect on four lessons they taught me that continue to guide my life and work: Why I learned that I deserve support How discernment protects vulnerability The importance of understanding how you develop Why declaring the impact of others matters This conversation is for anyone navigating new professional spaces, leadership roles, or seasons of growth where confidence feels fragile and hope is waning. 🎧 If this episode resonates, please share it and leave a review. Thanks for listening. ##DecidingToSoar #WorkAndWorth #YouDeserveSupport #WomenInLeadership #BlackWomenAtWork #FaithAndCareer #ConfidenceAtWork #MentorshipMatters…
