Please welcome special guest Jess Wass for episode 28! Jess shared so much, including: -- the value of healthy envy, especially when it comes to your career; -- why everyone needs a personal mission statement; and -- how there are no such things as 'mistakes' on your career path  Jess Wass has changed careers 5 times over the last 15 years, moving from Finance and Strategy Consulting, to Corporate and Startup roles, until finally finding her place as a Change Management Consultant & Executive Coach. Her years of experience in business combined with a strong skillset in organizational psychology, allow her to bring new perspective and frameworks to help clients tackle a variety of work-related challenges. She received her Masters in Social-Organizational Psychology from Columbia University’s Teachers College. Jess works with individuals and groups as a Coach, focused on helping people reach their full potential by getting to the heart of what truly drives them and helping ordinary managers become extraordinary leaders. She specializes in helping clients navigate career transitions by finding clarity in what drives them and utilizing frameworks for decision making, building alignment and clarity among teams, managing conflicts, diversity & inclusion work, and increasing productivity and focus at work. When she’s not working, she’s breaking down the psychology of The Real Housewives franchises and indulging her sweet tooth in anything with chocolate. Jess' #TNWIDTakeaway: "Defining yourself in terms of the specific role is really limiting...I wanted to instead imagine all the things that I could do and by defining my mission, I've opened it up."
