Description

If you're looking for inspiration on your job search, this week's conversation is sure to deliver. Dr. Hoby Wedler is joined by Yasmin Campbell, a graduate of the NSITE program and a champion for self-belief, self-advocacy, and furthering opportunities for the BVI community. Yasmin's plans took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, prompting a reevaluation of her career aspirations and igniting a transformative journey of skill development and personal growth.   In this conversation, Yasmin discusses her diverse work experience, how she navigated new working methods, and how she finally landed her dream job. Tune in to learn about the impact of believing in yourself, what being adaptable on your career path looks like, and the power of embracing life's challenges with courage, just like Yasmin did.   For full transcript and show notes, please visit: https://heardandempowered.org/22
