The Career Butterfly


Aug 5, 2019

What if you never had to look for a job? What if they just came to you? Is that even possible? 

That is exactly how it worked out for this week's guest Beth Bazley who is a Director for Save the Children. But that didn't happen by accident. While raising her children, she was also busy cultivating a community, volunteering for organizations that mattered to her, and doing the work that no one else wanted. 

Her family life evolved in a way she never expected when tragedy struck and her husband died when their girls were still young. Her community embraced her and, when the time was right, she went right back to volunteering. 

A few years - and several international trips later - she knew she was ready for something new. She cleaned her closet (literally) and went out shopping for her life ahead. And that's when the phone rang with her next opportunity.  

In this episode, you'll hear: 

  • Why Beth chose the hardest jobs as a volunteer
  • What Beth found most rewarding about volunteering
  • Who rescued them when they experienced great tragedy
  • How Beth moved forward after her husband's death with their Family Playbook
  • Why Beth kept volunteering even after her family changed
  • Why Beth believes in karma 
  • How Beth showed her kids a real work/life balance
  • Why Beth recommends a different work/life path for her daughters
  • Why "No is a perfectly good answer" is frequently Beth's opening line when she is asking for time or money
