Highly Effective Networking: Brittany Wilson Of Career Candor On 5 Strategies for Successful…

Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series. Before we dive into our discussion about networking, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path?

I grew up in a household where work was constant. My mother was a single parent and she worked two or three jobs at any one time and she always came home exhausted. I knew she didn’t enjoy any of those jobs, and I thought to myself, “There has to be a better way of working. There have to be people out there who enjoy their job, and there has to be a way to help people enjoy work.” That’s what set me on my path.

So, I had a career in HR and learning and development in small and Fortune 500 companies. In these roles, I’ve helped people develop in their careers, reach their goals, and transform workplaces to build and maintain learning cultures. In my career, I’ve developed some of the best relationships. Now, I’ve branched out to create my own company where I essentially, I help people enjoy their work a little more than they did before.

Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started your career?
