In this episode, Cat is going to talk with us about how to be an effective specialist. As a specialist, there is an easy tendency of being very compartmentalized and shut out anything that is not that much connected to our specialty. However, this leads to a career downfall in the long run.

 

Let’s join Cat and listen to this episode now and learn more about being a “Relative Specialist” and how this will greatly benefit your career.
