My guest for this episode is Laura Cashin, a good friend of mine from St. John's, Newfoundland, and also my coaching client who has recently gone through a pivot from working in an aerospace company into building her consultancy. She initially started her career in tech, then moved to the advertising industry, and most recently in aerospace. She has been in traditional Human Resource and progressive leadership roles in the HR operations side of businesses. Eventually, she decided to be a solopreneur and started her HR consultancy called Blueprint Human Resources.
