The Transit Lounge Podcast hosted by Shandra Moran
Podcast Guest:
Emma Polette
The career change after 40 interview series keeps uncovering great, ‘ordinary’ women who left successful careers to work for themselves.
After ‘falling’ into a career in FMCG Emma Polette found herself managing multi-million dollar budgets, with a National role she was good at, but didn’t love, in a boys club industry.
EPISODE 110 | 51 minutes
Then some health issues kicked in [as seem to often be the case with high achieving women], leading her to consider doing something else and now she is.
How she found her new direction was a little unusual, but in this podcast episode she shares:
- A comment a colleague made to Emma that made Shandra cranky
- The moment the epiphany hit about what she wanted to do and how to escape the big city to start a new career
- The epic way she ‘gave notice’ and left her role gracefully
- The varying reactions from people who heard she was leaving her high paying job
- What she realised with hindsight that could have helped her build her business faster
- What happens on the new moon that impacts her business
- How and what direction her business is growing in
Emma is a fabulous example of what’s possible when you’re ready to bundle up what you’re good at and what you believe in to start working for yourself.
