We connected with Anna as we share a common passion for helping people find work that is meaningful to them in a changing environment. We talk about Anna’s own career story, her work on the theory and application of Career Adaptability, a tool she created to help individuals write their career story, how her company is experimenting with the way they work and new projects on the horizon.
