Families For Choice - An Interview with Cathryn Carruthers

Do you want to be in control of every step of your career (or life)? You might really want to know what industry you’ll land in 20 years from now, the great side-hustle idea you’ll have in 5 years, and when your  boss will get fired for those sexist comments. But try as we might, we know it’s impossible to plan every single step perfectly. Even the most Type A, overachieving,  perfectionist among us can’t control everything that happens around them. (#SorryNotSorry)  So the juicy question is, would we honestly want to control everything? During an interview with leadership and executive coach Cathryn Carruthers, she talked about all the opportunities that came along as her life circumstances changed—working for world-class brands like British Airways, Merrill Lynch, and BlackRock. In our chat, she admitted that her incredible professional experiences were a function of her capabilities intersecting with luck...and there’s no way she could have choreographed all the pivots, twists, and turns.
