Never Stop Learning

Season Two - Episode 19

Guest - Paula Goulden Naitove, JD, ACC

"The adventure is the learning opportunity. Forgive yourself if you step off the side of the pavement once in a while. – Paula Goulden Naitove

In this episode, Holly & Kristin talk with Paula about:

Raised by a father who wanted his children to be well educated, she followed his advice. Although the journey was a winding adventure of self exploration, she wouldn’t change it
The importance of leveraging your contacts to break into the work you want to do
Asking for help is not a sign of weakness

Key Takeaways

Paula would have loved if her 25 year old self would have recognized the importance of self awareness., instead of just following merrily along without self monitoring
Try things! If you find out what you’re doing isn’t quite right for you go ahead and make a course adjustment… and don’t feel guilty about doing so
Whatever you do, always keep learning, pushing yourself, and trying new ways to get better and do more important work in the world
