What if you never had to look for a job? What if they just came to you? Is that even possible?
That is exactly how it worked out for this week’s guest Beth Bazley who is a Director for Save the Children. But that didn’t happen by accident. While raising her children, she was also busy cultivating a community, volunteering for organizations that mattered to her, and doing the work that no one else wanted.
Her family life evolved in a way she never expected when tragedy struck and her husband died when their girls were still young. Her community embraced her and, when the time was right, she went right back to volunteering.
A few years – and several international trips later – she knew she was ready for something new. She cleaned her closet (literally) and went out shopping for her life ahead. And that’s when the phone rang with her next opportunity.
