We’ve been talking for the past couple of podcast episodes about finding your voice and both the challenges and opportunities around that. My guest today is Dr. Jerrica Dodd, a pharmacist who now coaches other women pharmacists transitioning into starting their own businesses. Jerrica is an incredible entrepreneur, coach, and speaker. We’ve worked together twice on her talks and she has a dynamic personality and presence. Jerrica and I talk about: The key question she asks her coaching clients - one that’s oftentimes difficult for us as women to answer Asking yourself: If you could do anything, what would it be? Jerrica’s surprising and unexpected journey to pharmacy (from a love of English and History) Our mutual love of diagramming sentences (do kids still do that?) How Jerrica found her voice by seeing what was at the core of her stories Recognizing the universal values that keep showing up in your personal experiences and stories Jerrica’s recommendations if you want to have more impact and fulfillment This episode is the third in our podcast series on “Finding Your Voice.” About My Guest: Dr. Jerrica Dodd is a pharmacist, educator and coach who empowers individuals to transform their lives through coaching, teaching and speaking.
