On this special episode of Tapod, we catch up with Pam Stroud – Senior Talent Industry Legend, who has reassessed her career and ventured out on her own with ‘The Pivot Space’, supporting and navigating women in career transition. It may be menopause, single motherhood, returning to the workplace following family or any number of challenges; sometimes we question our relevance and our career choices. Coupled with the recent and rapid changes in technology and focus on gender pay gap, more and more women are looking to pivot. Pam brings her knowledge and understanding to support women in working their way through all of the questions. And Pam has generously offered all TaPod listeners a discount to work with her. Use the QR code on the episode slide to access the offer.
