Episode 8: Joy C. Lin
“When you are confident you are able to be yourself in the best way possible. You own the goal you have, taking responsibility for your actions and decisions - all the decisions you make every day ultimately put together who you are, what you do and who you are around.”
"There is always a silver lining in everything you experience."
Joy C Lin,
Career Strategist and Coach, on helping you become the person you didn't think you could be
Joy Lin knows a thing or two about career transitions. Upon graduating from college , she did what any hopeful college graduate aspires to do: get a well-paying job at a highly respected firm and be on her way up the corporate ladder to become CFO. However, Joy very quickly discovered that she had to do a lot of re-rerouting both personally and professionally. She took time off to discover herself by researching a lot of industries and talking to people. Joy realized that music brought out the best in her, most importantly her authentic side which she lost touch with.
hrough this career transition, Joy decided that she wanted to make her life purpose as a career strategist; by dedicating the rest of her life leading by example and helping others design an optimal life and career. Joy founded Quarter Life Joy, which is helping people improve themselves to operating at their best.
