Five Questions with... (5QW) by MBAchic

In this episode, we discuss Carolyn Miles' MBA and professional journey, the importance of building a supportive network across the various stages and phases of your life, and why you should aim to plan out the next three or five years of your life and career, keeping yourself open to opportunities for impact, learning and growth (where the “magic” happens). We also discuss what took her from marketing in financial services, to entrepreneurship and eventually the international nonprofit stage. Truly enjoyed this conversation and believe you will, too.
