From Radio Dreams to Nonprofit Leadership with Alina Correa | Ep 251

This week's "At Her Career Crossroads" insight comes from Alina Correa. She says — "As much as I love speaking with people and talking to people, I was not using my best skills in this job. It was a lot of following very specific procedures. And I did a great job. When I told them I was leaving for the Red Cross, they were like, 'We'll give you more money. Just stay.' Like, they were asking me to stay, but in my heart, I couldn't." Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear how following what feels fulfilling — even without a clear plan — can lead to meaningful career shifts You'll learn how to stay open to opportunities and advocate for yourself, even when you feel unsure or unqualified You'll get a real look at how purpose often comes from action, not from having everything figured out Alina Correa is the interim executive director for the West Los Angeles chapter of the American Red Cross.
