Career Clarity, Smart Networking & Knowing Your Superpowers with Barbara Merola Pawar

Barbara Merola Pawar has never been afraid to ask for what she wants. And it has taken her everywhere. In this episode, Erin sits down with Barbara Merola Pawar — a leader with an impressive career spanning politics, sales, and beyond — for a conversation about what it really takes to build a career with intention. They get into a lot: how Barbara leveraged every role she's ever had to move into the next one, why career clarity and specificity in your job search changes everything, and how networking and telling people you're looking can open doors you didn't even know existed. They also get into what it means to be both a results leader and a people leader at the same time, the first team mentality, and how to pick yourself back up after one of the hardest lessons leadership has to teach you. Honest, strategic, and full of the kind of advice that makes you want to go reassess your superpowers.
