Understand Your Career Vision Through Self-Reflection | Record numbers of employees changed careers since the pandemic, and those numbers are predicted to hold strong throughout 2022. I have heard many reasons for this, such as work-life balance, pay, culture, concerns about career growth, and many others. As we begin a new year, many people are reflecting on both their personal and professional lives to evaluate areas of improvement. | | | |

AMANDA GOODMAN
SURVIVING THE BOYS CLUB & PERFECT POLLY
Thank you to Amanda Goodman, Executive Director of Family & Children’s Council of Black Hawk County, for her thought-provoking and empowering discussion on overcoming the “boys club” mentality!
“Speak your truth. Own your truth. Be unapologetically you.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being a woman can be tough - boxes are drawn and they are told to fit in them. Set boundaries for what you are willing to sacrifice by staying in that box or getting out of it.
- For women, it’s not about getting more, it’s about being equal.
- Men have an opportunity to support their female colleagues in helping to get rid of the “boys club” mentality.
- Purpose over pretty.
- You will change and evolve as you age. Don’t fight it, go with it. It doesn’t mean you are a failure if something changes.
- Do not live your life doing everything that others tell you, stand up and have a voice.
- Adulthood is about learning to weed out the “October People” - those who change their colors as soon as things get cold/too tough.
