Business Tips & Career Change Advice for Women: Second Act Success News Journalist Kristy Siefkin Took Her On-Air Skills And Launched A Career As A Communications Coach | Ep #40
When Kristy Siefkin found herself shying away from her dreams as a child, she knew she needed to change. After building her communications skills in high school and college, she began working at non-profits that were close to her heart, eventually using her skills to become their spokesperson and help craft their messaging. This opportunity led her to becoming an on air journalist for more than 15 years in San Francisco and Phoenix. As the journalism industry changed, Kristy decided to bring her public speaking and communication talents to others, starting her own communications company, where she coaches clients how to speak confidently and effectively, whether in the boardroom, sales pitch or on camera. Listen now on the Second Act Success Podcast.
