Happy Productive with Jennifer Dawn: Where Business Success Meets Personal Fulfillment | There is a (Better) Life After Being Fired, with Esther Etim

Getting fired feels like the end of the world at that moment. Really, it’s just the end of a chapter in your story.

Esther Etim is a business consultant who helps young women further their careers in law and media while developing their voice.

Whether you were recently let go, or you’re in a position to do the firing, this episode will open your eyes to the possibilities of life after being fired.
