Episode 259: Foundation of a "Catapulted" Career - Day 1 of Bootcamp

People ask me all the time: "Stella, what are your thoughts on AI?"   Until now, I've stayed quiet. And it's not because I didn't have an opinion (I have lots of opinions on lots of things I choose to stay quiet on ;-) )   It's because I don't speak on topics until I've done my own thinking first.   In my next message, I'm sharing my unfiltered answer about AI, leadership, and what it actually means for your career.   If you care about staying relevant, promotable, and impossible to overlook in the next decade, you'll want to listen to this.   FREE TRAINING Register for The Catapult Your Career Bootcamp (http://thecatapultbootcamp.com) WORK WITH US Join the Catapult Your Career Program (http://cycprogram.com) GET IN TOUCH Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stellaodogwu/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_intelle/ Email: [email protected]

People are often surprised when they find out I rarely give book recommendations. It's not because I don't read or value learning. There's a deeper reason; one that might shift how you think about growth, readiness, and real progress.   Let's talk about it in today's episode.

A close friend, who is highly accomplished, said to me recently, "I just don't know if I still have the same fire I used to have."   We were remembering those early-career years; the long nights, the hustle, the drive.   Now, with families, aging parents, and full lives, that same fire feels harder to find.   But maybe it's not gone.   Maybe it just needs a different kind of fuel.   I recorded an entire podcast on it. If you have found it challenging to find that next gear to achieve your next level, be it VP or C-Suite, this one's for you!   FREE TRAINING Register for The Catapult Your Career Bootcamp (http://thecatapultbootcamp.com) WORK WITH US Join the Catapult Your Career Program (http://cycprogram.com) GET IN TOUCH Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stellaodogwu/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_intelle/ Email: [email protected] Text: 949-519-4554
