Hi everyone! I founded Work Muse (workmuse.com) the first U.S. job sharing company. We train companies how to design sustainable job share programs and people how to create their own rewarding job shares. I worked in marketing & sales in the radio industry for 15 years previously, job sharing nearly a decade of that time with several partners (starting when my daughter was 6 months old). It was a game-changer! Work Muse was born out of my frustration pivoting careers and the difficulty in finding a job share coupled with my passion to spread the least known, most innovative flex practice so everyone else could experience the win-win-win for career-self-family I had! So happy to get to know you all!

Happy to see everyone in this group -I am getting ready to leave ,y job in the pharmaceutical industry after 20+ years. Time for my next pivot! I learned about the benefits of having more in your life than just work the hard way, and I love helping and learning from other women who wrestle with the same questions

Hi Marne,
That is huge! A career pivot after 20 years is exciting. What field /role are you looking to pivot to for your second shift? A good resource could be goterawatt.com . Here's an interview I did with the founder that could be helpful: http://workmuse.com/the-woman-who-helps-power-your-career-change/

Thanks Melissa, I will check out terawatt. Thinking of various options for myself - writing, chocolate making, baking...the world is my oyster at this point! This will be my 3rd shift - and one goal is get back to some of what I really loved in my first career as a practitioner: seeing a tangible outcome from my work. Too many years of chasing paper and ppt!
