    Judy left an executive role in the not-for-profit sector to become a mission-driven entrepreneur. She and her co-founder of EvolveMe built a gap-filling, job search program for women in midlife.


    Listen in to hear these keys to search that apply to everyone:


    1. Ditch the career ladder and the “shoulds.” Your first step is about checking in with you. Check out their free SWOT** tool in the show notes.

    **Strengths, Wishes, Opportunities and Truths


    2. Don’t go it alone. Judy shares the power of community. Job seekers from a variety of industries and experience gain confidence faster and see new paths when they are on the search together.


    3. A compelling “elevator pitch” is about your future, the impact you want to have, and your values.


    4. Defining and managing your personal brand puts you in the drivers seat. This articulation helps your network make the best connections for you.


    5. Try it on. Strategic volunteering (even one day) or project-based work will give you the exposure to the not-for-profit sector you need to see if it’s a right match for you at this moment.


    For women in midlife, this is a can’t miss episode. Judy shares most common stumbling blocks and how to clear them. (Hint: growth mindset, self-reflection, career reframing, it’s not too late). She noticed that women tend to focus on doing a great job in their current role and neglect to think about their career.


    If you don’t know where to begin or are feeling rudderless, this episode is for you. Judy distills the job search and will help you move your bias toward action.

  • Don't Let Your Career Happen to You: from e-commerce to clean water access
    2024/08/28

    Tired of feeling like a passenger in your own career? Join us as we chat with Christa Stelzmuller, a seasoned tech pro who traded the hustle of e-commerce for world-changing work. Christa made a bold leap into the not-for-profit world, landing the coveted role of Chief Technology Officer at charity:water.

    Learn how she navigated the transition, filled in knowledge gaps, and found a mission and culture that truly resonated.

    Whether you're considering a similar switch or simply want to take more control of your professional path, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.

    Listen in and take some pointers from her process:

    • Take control: Don't let your career happen to you. Own your path and make intentional decisions.

    • Take the time: A major career change may be several months in the making, start today.

    • Skill up: Identify your knowledge and skills gaps and actively seek out opportunities to learn.

    • Find your fit: Use the interview process to discover if the organization's mission and culture align with your values.

    • Go with who you are: Make a clear statement in your application about the skills you have to offer and how you plan to use these transferable skills in the role.

    Christa digs into tech in the not-for-profit sector. Two essential transferable skills for moving from the for-profit to not-for-profit sector are change management and database/CRM management. She shares examples of transferable skills from sales funnels to fundraising and using data for storytelling. She shares that success comes when you can drive data through to the human experience.

    A year into her sector-switching role, she’s very happy she made the shift. She encourages you to go for the career switch of your dreams.



    A common thread throughout Christa Stelzmuller’s career has been a multidisciplinary approach to leveraging data and technology for better decisions, better products, and better delivery. She is focused on building innovative and useful digital experiences and is deeply motivated by mission. She has a demonstrated ability to translate a vision to a strategy and then connect that strategy to execution. Key to that are her strengths in communication and team leadership. She easily pivots between conversations with investors and board members, fellow leadership team members, and more junior team members and fosters high levels of productivity through a service-oriented, participative approach to leading her teams.

    As a career development coach, she has been helping people grow and develop in their careers for over a decade.

But, before that, she had to navigate my own career journey.


    She knows what it’s like to feel stuck and be unsure of how to find the right kind of work for you, and how to land the job you want. She also knows what it’s like to work on a dysfunctional team with bad management. And I know a bad manager can be the reason you leave your job.
