How Do You See Your Kaleidoscope Career. A Step-by-Step Approach

From Host Helen Jonsen

Welcome to This Kaleidoscope Career with thoughts about how women are doing it differently. As the colors of a kaleidoscope shift and tumble to create amazing and unique images, our skills, talents, experience and passions can create unique careers that are anything but linear. After four decades as a journalist, writer, strategic comms pro and professional speaker, I have learned a lot about how we communicate who we are and what we do. These are our stories and the tools to celebrate them.

I have spent two years listening to women and researching the elements of this kaleidoscope career for my new book, This Kaleidoscope Career: Empowering Women to Build Unconventional Careers and Redefine Success, published by De Gruyter Brill to be released in Sept. 2026.

In this episode i share the key elements, discuss superpowers and then, walk through the step-by-step approach to reframing your career as you see it through its twists and turns.

Former guests remind us of important elements and why.

@Christine Koh and @Joan Garry.
