Bonus Episode | A Career Reinvented: From Wall Street to Humanitarian Advocacy- Rachel Mikanagu

Описание

In the middle of Season 4 of HUMHR Career Insights Entrepreneurship as a Career Choice we pause for a special bonus episode that takes us back to a foundational theme of the podcast: The Power of Storytelling. This episode is a throwback to Season 2, where we explored the human stories behind careers, the decisions, pivots, risks, and moments of reckoning that shape professional lives. And fittingly, Season 4 has quietly become a season of reconnections. In this deeply reflective conversation, I reconnect with an old friend whose remarkable career journey began in finance, working in global markets, before taking a bold and unconventional turn into humanitarian leadership and advocacy. From Wall Street to Asia, and later into some of the world’s most complex humanitarian contexts, her story is one of courage, reinvention, and purpose-driven work. We talk about career pivots, identity shifts, influence without profit, leadership in high-pressure environments, and what it really means to redefine success over time. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, questioning a path that looks “right on paper,” or simply drawn to powerful human stories this episode is for you
