Janet spent 23 years in the corporate world doing what others said was impossible. (A sabbatical? Yes!) She was rapidly promoted through the ranks to director where she played a key strategic role in many corporate areas like IT, R&D, and Quality... until her relationship with her boss became frustrating. As she says, “frustration leads to change.”

P.P.P.S. Something was up with my camera so I look like a bad lip-syncing episode. If it’s annoying, listen to the audio or cover my half of the screen and focus on Janet. Her mouth and words sync up.

In a world of negativity and cynicism, Carol Bruess is a breath of fresh air. She is an expert on the communication patterns in relationships, and although she shares a couple of tips from her research, her stellar qualifications are not why she’s here.

(I’ll just slip in here that she’s been interviewed by Men’s Health, PBS, and Cosmopolitan Magazine and has published 5 books.)

She’s speaking to you Corporate Rebels because Carol just made an unusual and bold career move. She’s heard, “Are you CRAZY?” and “there must be another way,” more times than she can count. Despite all the naysayers and worriers around her, she’s happier and more confident than ever.

Carol unveils what it takes to be brave and how you have all the power to frame your experiences however you want to and to write your own rulebook. (In fact, you don’t have to listen to the people who tell you what’s possible or impossible or who want to define the “right” path to create your career.)

If you want permission to let joy create success in your work and life or you want to learn how to create your own reality the way you want it to be, Carol’s interview is for you!

Worried That You Don’t Know What You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Time to watch: 32:13 minutes
Julie Fotos, Leadership and Team Development Coach


I really can’t love Julie enough. Julie is a fireball of energy and truth telling. Despite never being sure what she wanted to be when she grew up, she played with the big kids in advertising in Chicago and New York for 25 years, many of them running her own successful agency. She worked with celebrities, for goodness sakes.

After a painful and clarifying moment, Julie walked away from it all despite her own fears and hearing, “You’re crazy. Don’t ruin your life.” Julie recognized that despite her “cool” career, she had been unhappy for years. With faith that she could be happy and a whole lotta hutzpah, Julie forged a new career and a life she loves.

In this interview, Julie shows you how to listen to your own inner knowing, how to challenge the beliefs that hold you back (such as “I am too old…”), and how to create your own definition of success. She offers real wisdom and shares an actionable exercise to create clarity and a plan for your next step.

If you’ve ever felt unhappy in your career, if you don’t know where to start to make a change, or you just want a few hints on how to be happy in work and life, Julie’s your girl!
