Design Your Career from the Inside Out: an interview with Tammy Gooler Loeb , author of Work From The Inside Out

Tammy Gooler Loeb is an Executive and Career Coach, Author, Speaker, and Podcast Host. Through her coaching practice, her book, Work From the Inside Out and her podcast by the same name, Tammy helps her readers, listeners and clients develop greater satisfaction in their careers and work relationships.

Tammy shared her own personal career journey. She worked at her college career office when she was in school, spent some time in community mental health, in the Mayor's office in Boston working on public policy, and then as a writer of grants for non-profits.

Tammy describes how she began to chafe as an employee, always working under someone else's agenda. She realized that she was not a great employee; she did not like being told what to do. She started her consulting business after receiving a great piece of advice: have a part time job as a financial anchor and build a side gig around that.

"Networking wasn't just about telling people about me to help me get a job. It was more finding out about what other people were doing, what they liked about it, and then seeing what that sparked in me". Tammy Gooler Loeb

Key takeaways:

- Be willing to shake things up, to take a risk, when you’re in a rut. In Tammy’s case, at age 25, she bought a one-way ticket to Athens, with nothing else but a backpack, to kickstart her sense of adventure, freedom and curiosity.

- Consider working in a field before pursuing a degree in it. Tammy had applied to and was accepted into a program for a Masters in Public Policy, but then realized it made sense to work in public policy before enrolling, even with a great scholarship award. And she did NOT end up pursuing that degree!

- As you explore next steps, talk to other people about what they are doing. Tammy shared that, if she saw someone doing something that interested her, she always made an effort to reach out and find out what they liked about it and how they got where they were. Looking back, she realizes she was networking!
