#180 How to Make a Leap in Your Career Reinvention (Dana Hilmer & Wendy Perrotti)
October 17 2022
“The thing that’s holding you back is what you think you know for sure,” says Wendy Perrotti, one half of the dynamic coaching duo behind Camp Reinvention. Her co-founder Dana Hilmer agrees: “We humans don’t love uncertainty, but being in that place…that is the birthplace of possibility.” After years of running their own independent coaching practices, Hilmer and Perrotti created Camp Reinvention to help women over 50 stop “should-ing” and live their best lives. In this conversation with CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour, they break down the many barriers women face to reinvention (including pre-set ideas of what’s possible), how they can correct them, and what they need to take the first steps towards their dream careers. Listen in as they explore topics like redefining success, giving ourselves permission, debunking the myth of fulfillment, and much more.
