What if the next chapter of your career isn't another executive position, but something you build for yourself? In this special seventh anniversary episode of the Wickedly Smart Women Podcast, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Amanda Goodwin, the newest member of the Wickedly Smart Women team and Director of Engagement and Strategic Partnerships.
After serving as CEO of a technology startup, Amanda realized she had spent decades progressing from one leadership role to another without ever intentionally mapping out what would come next. Her initial answer to the question was simple: rest.
This is Part 1 of a special seven-part series celebrating seven years of Wickedly Smart Women and exploring the often-overlooked bridge between corporate leadership and consultancy.

Why your expertise can be applied across multiple industries and sectors.
How to begin recognizing the systems, processes, and knowledge you have already built.
Why creating your own path can give you greater agency over your time and career.

Why having human support can make navigating a major career transition more intentional.
How building a consultancy can allow high-achieving women to create new possibilities for their expertise, income, and impact.
