In this episode of the Varying Viewpoints podcast, two of our Visiting Scholars, Joanna Jenkins – consultant and affiliate professor at St. Joseph’s University – and Natascha Saunders – certified career coach – discuss the importance of equity in career coaching. Joanna and Natascha take us through the challenges faced by young people, including family expectations and lack of support. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the need to teach students how to build and leverage their cultural capital using existing relationships, passions, and resources. They conclude that the future needs inclusive leadership, active listening, and optimism to drive problem-solving in the modern workplace.
