The Power of Career Clarity with Meredith Dinitz and Betsy Jewell
Episode 9
Friday, February 27, 2026 • Duration 31:06
On this podcast, we often talk about hiring trends, market shifts, and tactical career strategy. But today, we’re talking about something more foundational - clarity. The kind that changes how you walk into an interview, how you evaluate your role, and how you decide what’s next.
As we were recording, what really stood out to me is how similar the patterns are. Whether someone is just starting out or twenty years into their career, the details look different - internships versus leadership roles, first jobs versus restructures, but the root issue is often the same.
When you don’t have clarity, you second-guess yourself.
When you do, you move differently.
So today, we’re each sharing a real client story and unpacking what was happening beneath the résumé, beneath the title, beneath the frustration.________________

Portfolios, Proof of Work & the Future of Early Career
With Dr. Anna Stumpf
Episode 8
Thursday, February 19, 2026 • Duration 50:54
In this episode, Dr. Anna Stumpf and I dig into a question we both keep coming back to:
Are we witnessing the death of the resume economy and moving into a proof-of-work economy?
Listen in as we talk about what a “portfolio” really means (hint: not just for artists), how to show how you think, not just what you’ve done, and why the human premium is increasingly found in your process, judgment, curiosity, and reflection.

Thursday, February 12, 2026 • Duration 29:26
In this episode of the Career Intelligence Podcast, host and Career Coach Kathleen Dohoney tackles the often-dreaded idea of networking. For many mid-to-late career professionals, the idea of networking conjures up images of exhausting event meet-ups and transactional small talk. However, Kathleen and her guest, Cynthia Maria Estalilla of CME Beyond Career Success, break down practical strategies for those who feel overwhelmed, starting with the inner circle of family and friends before moving toward more strategic outreach.
Drawing from Cynthia’s 30 years of experience in HR and talent consulting, the conversation explores how to shift networking from a burdensome task to a habitual practice built on trust. Whether you are navigating a layoff or seeking career clarity, this episode provides a roadmap for building meaningful connections that move your career forward by design, not by chance.

The Future of Work: Why Human Skills Matter More Than Ever with Linda Liu
Episode 32
Thursday, August 6, 2026 • Duration 35:27
Everyone is talking about AI.
How to use AI. How AI is changing hiring. How AI is replacing jobs.
But what if we've been asking the wrong question?
In this episode of the Career Intelligence Podcast, Betsy Jewell sits down with Linda Liu, founder of LiftHer Career and creator of the Grad2Hire program, to explore why the future of work isn't just about technology. It's about becoming more human.
We discuss why so many college students and recent graduates feel overwhelmed in today's job market, why applying to hundreds of jobs rarely works, and why qualities like curiosity, communication, confidence, self-awareness, and relationship-building are becoming even more valuable in the age of AI.
You'll also hear how Linda's innovative Grad2Hire program is helping young adults bridge the gap between college and career through coaching, community, mentorship, and real-world experience.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why the college-to-career transition feels harder than ever
• Why AI is a tool, not a career strategy
• The human skills employers still can't automate
• Why networking is really about building authentic relationships
• How coaching and community accelerate career success
• Why self-discovery should happen before the job search
• How employers can better develop early-career talent
Whether you're a student, recent graduate, parent, educator, or employer, this conversation offers hope and practical advice for navigating today's changing world of work.
