Working Forward, an original podcast from PeopleForward Network, explores advancements in technology, societal + economic shifts, artificial intelligence, remote work, the gig economy, and more to equip listeners with the knowledge and foresight necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving professional landscape.
In this episode of Working Forward, Amy Bayer shares her personal journey through burnout, career reinvention, and the slow, intentional process of rediscovering purpose.
From leading global employer brand initiatives to stepping away in search of alignment, Amy offers a vulnerable look at what it means to listen to your body, trust your instincts, and let go of what no longer serves you. She and Brent discuss how strengths like Empathy and Connectedness guided her path, the power of sabbaticals, and the questions that helped her begin again — on her terms.
