Speaker: Hello and welcome to the Korea Slay Talks podcast. My name is Brenda Dawg. I'm also known as the Korea Slay Mama and I'm really excited to journey with you. I'm a certified career strategist as well as a certified resume strategist. So this podcast is for you if you're really looking to get professional inspiration on how to grow and slay your career, whether that is from mid to senior,
Speaker: or senior to management or management to executive roles. Through this podcast, I'm looking to center Black Canadian voices as well as Black diaspora voices in sharing all of our career slaying, whether that is triumphs professionally, our career journeys, our professional and personal development goals, as well as
Speaker: sharing practical and tangible career tips so that you can slay your career every day. I am that go -to person that most of the people in my network
Speaker: come to when they're looking for career advice, where they're looking for direction and I've been providing career advice for over 15 years. I've been mentoring quite a number of people in different capacities and I'm really excited to share some of my learnings, my own journey as well as my expertise and strategies that can help you really
Speaker: grow and develop professionally. I also know that it takes a village and so I'm really looking forward to inviting guests who will share their own experiences, their own expertise, and help us to grow and develop in many different ways.
Speaker: I'm launching this podcast at the end of Black History Month, 2023, really purposefully because February is that time when there's a lot of focus on us as Black folk. Everyone is really interested in hearing our stories, hearing our journeys. However, a lot of that dissipates after February. We are Black every day. We are Black
Speaker: in February, in March, in December, throughout the year. And so this podcast is really keeping that fire burning where we have a space to openly talk about some of the issues that we are facing, as well as some of the ways in which we are overcoming and we are shining. This podcast is also about highlighting Black excellence. Black excellence is so important to us. For so long, Black people have been stereotyped,
Speaker: have been put in boxes. And we have found ways to overcome. We have found ways to triumph. We have found ways to redefine and retell that story, whether that's black girl magic, whether that's black girl joy or black boy joy, whether that's black excellence. And so in this podcast, we will celebrate the wins with the hope of allowing that next generation to see themselves, but also
Speaker: to dream bigger and to jump and grow from our shoulders so i invite you to connect with me on social media you can find the podcast page on instagram at careerslay talks
Speaker: The views that I share on this podcast are my personal views. They do not reflect the views of my employer, and I am not speaking in the capacity of my professional role. These are purely my personal opinions, as well as those of the guests that I invite. And I also want to disclaim that I do not always share the same perspectives of the guests that come into the show, but I look forward to opening up and inviting diverse folks to share diverse opinions.
Speaker: and for us to learn together. I'm looking forward to sharing a broad range of guests who will share their expertise, their personal journeys, as well as the path that they've taken to get to where they are. I'm also looking to share my own expertise as a certified resume and career strategist on practical tips and ways in which you can really set yourself up to get to that next level.
Speaker: I'm so excited for you to follow along on this journey, and I encourage you to follow the podcast wherever you get your podcasts from, whether that's Spotify, Apple, or Google, and let's slay together.
