The Social Change Career Podcast E16S7: Covid-19 & Unemployment in the Social Impact Space: The Story of Jessika Portney
For the past 3 years, Jessika Portney was a manager of Leadership Programs at the prestigious Brookings Institution. That is, until 2020. If this year is a lemon, let’s hear what type of lemonade Jessika made. Far from letting her layoff define her, she used this adversity to fulfill her dreams of becoming a leadership and life coach.
In Episode 16 of Season 7 Jessika shares her story, what happened after she lost her job and what how she decided to leap and build her own coaching business.
