Ride The Tide Collective, The Podcast is a weekly podcast that provides actionable advice and tips for ambitious professionals looking to advance, change, or take control of their career path. Season 5 is the start of a new interview format that brings on guests who are employed in real positions to share their career journey, experience, and tips.   Though early in her career, Colleen Mitchell has already established that management isn't for her. Along with managing a chronic illness, Colleen determined early that she thrives as an individual contributor, but also loves helping her colleagues be the best leaders they can be. We have a lively conversation that includes navigating unemployment, being a woman in STEM, and Harry Potter. Colleen is a Process Analyst at NAES Corporation.   For additional information and the links to all the resources mentioned in the episode, head over to the blog page for the episode, which can be found here:  https://ridethetidecollective.com/2021/03/10/season5episode10/   If you have any questions, please connect with Ride The Tide Collective on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, and send a message.
