Embracing Jagged Career Changes with Marji Guyler-Alaniz

Big careers are rarely built in straight lines. They are built through risks, pivots and the willingness to figure things out along the way. Marji Guyler-Alaniz, Chief Operating Officer at AgriSompo North America, joins The Cultivating Leaders Podcast for a candid conversation about career pivots, identity shifts and leading through change. Marji shares how her Iowa roots and passion for storytelling led her to build FarmHer and the identity shift as she navigated back to a corporate position. Marji gets real about: * Just one thing: The power of taking the first step when a big dream feels overwhelming * Navigating the identity shift: Knowing when to walk away and honoring the career changes * Building confidence: Why networks, curiosity and courage matter more than having every answer If you are facing a big transition or wondering whether you are ready for the next opportunity, Marji's story is a reminder that you do not have to know everything before you begin. You just have to be willing to take the next step in front of you. Want to hear more from Marji? Check out her blog here [https://www.agfuture.org/news/more-than-your-job]!
