How to Stop Feeling like a Square Peg in a Round Hole

Every week on the SPARKED podcast, we invite a listener to share what’s going on in their work & life, then pose a specific question to Jonathan Fields and a rotating lineup of wise and kind mentors - the SPARKED Braintrust. 

In today’s episode we’re in conversation with:

SPARKED BRAINTRUST ADVISOR: Deborah Owens | Website

After a long career in leadership in some of the biggest companies in the world, Deborah founded her own consulting firm, Corporate Alley Cat, where she advises and coaches People of Color in all aspects of career visioning and development. She has this incredible ability to see what’s happening under the surface in any given situation, and ask questions that get to the heart of the matter and reveal possibilities that feel both empowering and expansive.

LISTENER: Katie - Sparketype: Advisor/Nurturer

QUESTION: Listener Katie shares her experience of being a highly-accomplished square peg in a round hole, who got tired of being drawn into roles at the highest level, succeeding, and yet still feeling like the what she was being tasked with doing and accomplishing was seriously misaligned with who she was.
