In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Dina Silver Pokedoff, Senior Vice President of Communications, mom, and stepmom, shares the twists and turns of her 30-year career in the communications industry. From dreaming of med school to becoming a powerhouse in PR, Dina opens up about the non-linear path that shaped her leadership style, work ethic, and resilience.
We explore:
- How Dina built a thriving communications career without a traditional degree in the field
- The mindset shift required to pivot industries and roles, including taking strategic steps “down” the ladder to grow
- Her deeply personal and emotional fertility journey, including IVF and donor egg experiences
- The challenge of balancing a high-achieving career with the uncertainty of family planning
- How a layoff challenged her to untangle her identity from her career during a period of transition and reinvention

00:01:59
Speaker
This is one of my favorite topics about how to really help other women navigate their careers and being moms. So I'm really excited to be here and to share my story. So my background, as you said, I've been at this um in the communications field now for about 30 years.
00:02:15
Speaker
um It's a long time and it may age me a little bit to be so blunt about how many years it is, but I'm proud I'm embracing my age and the wisdom that comes with it. So I've been at this for a long time. i started my career, at one point I would have said i was an agency gal.
00:02:30
Speaker
I
Finding Passion in Communications
00:02:31
Speaker
was working at public relations agencies um representing a really wide range of both business-to-business and business-to-consumer kinds of clients. The agencies were based in and around the Philadelphia area, but the clients were all over, um both local, national to the U.S., s and also international.
00:02:49
Speaker
um And I got some fantastic experience in the agency space. And then I made the pivot to in-house, first working at a university that's also here in the Philadelphia area. It's called Lehigh University, really known for its engineering school.
00:03:05
Speaker
It's a university with multiple schools and they wanted someone who could run the comms side of their shop like an agency. i did that there. um I had multiple roles with it when I was at Lehigh. I really loved being in the academic environment, but then I got a ah really lovely outreach.
00:03:23
Speaker
to bring me in-house in corporate and to leverage my French language skills, which I had been a French and political science major. I didn't major in communications. So I joined a company called Saint-Cobain.
00:03:35
Speaker
If you say it with a French accent or Saint-Cobain, if you say it with an American accent. um And they hired me for my communications expertise, but that I spoke French fluently was icing on the cake. And I was there for about 10 years.
00:03:47
Speaker
I headed communications globally for a chemical company that was a spinoff of Dow for a couple of years. And now I find myself at Coon and Nagel. So I've had a pretty rich career, both in-house and also um on the agency side as a consultant.
00:04:01
Speaker
Yeah. I think what's so interesting about your story is that you didn't go to school for that No. And actually, I went to a small liberal arts college called Skidmore, um which is up in Saratoga Springs. um Beautiful location, fantastic school.
00:04:16
Speaker
And their our current motto, and I think it's there's still their current motto, is creative thought matters. I mean, because really, i do believe that the liberal arts education teaches you how to think.
00:04:27
Speaker
critical thinking skills, problem solving skills.
Navigating Early Career Challenges
00:04:30
Speaker
And so, you know, I went into school thinking I was going to be a doctor. i went in pre-med and I ended up in a kind of a funny twist, ending up taking French and political science and I completely fell in love with it. I studied abroad multiple times.
00:04:45
Speaker
um And so the question becomes, when you study French and political science, what do you do with that? And I graduated in the midst of recession. i was also kind of a spoiled kid. I didn't really think I'd have to work hard at figuring it out. I thought like everything in my life, it would fall in my lap.
00:05:00
Speaker
And when it didn't, it became like a, hey, what do you do? So I did one of those, you may recall, or it might be before your time, there was a very popular program called What Color Is Your Parachute? I went to a career counselor and we did a lot of heavy lifting of my values, my experience, and it was either go into law or go into communications.
00:05:20
Speaker
And I um decided to give communications a full try. i volunteered as an intern and begged Barton Stoll say, hey, if you let me try communications,
00:05:32
Speaker
doing communications. um It was at a small local nonprofit for a French organization called the Alliance Francaise. So using my French skills, but also trying to use my communication skills or build my communication skills. And so from that, I grew a career, right? So I started by saying, please, please let me try this. And then of course, through time, I gained hands-on experience with people who knew communications.
00:05:58
Speaker
Then I moved into the agency space. But I do think that if communications had been offered, I might have found it. um It was not available at my school. okay And this whole topic of communications as a major, it really wasn't around, or at least not in my purview.
00:06:15
Speaker
It wasn't around, you know, all my family's friends, like if I looked around me, they were either teachers, doctors or lawyers, right? So I really didn't know what would be a, for me, i had worked at a summer camp and had done some things there that kind of gave me like a sense for like, hey, if somebody would let me represent them, I think I could do a pretty good job at that.
00:06:38
Speaker
Did not really know what that entailed. And of course, i learned it as I went, right? i kind of had to fight my bit and claw my way to get the experience. But the critical thinking skills that I got as part of a liberal arts education, I think is what really made it work.
Career Pivots and Growth Opportunities
00:06:54
Speaker
Yeah, that's so interesting. I also went to a small liberal arts college, West Virginia Wesleyan. I almost minored in communication, but I think I had to take one more public speaking class and I hated it so much. ah i was like, no, I want to forego that.
00:07:09
Speaker
I will say, you know, one thing that I think that, you know, the Public Relations Society of America has some really great, you know, trainings, opportunities, and one of them is to go for your accreditation. So after about seven or eight years of doing the work, I went back and got my accreditation to prove to myself that like, hey, I actually know what I'm doing.
00:07:29
Speaker
Even though I learned it in the field, on the job, from others and from just being scrappy in learning that I actually do know what I'm doing. And so I got my accreditation and I'm very proud of that because to me, that was my advanced degree. It was not so easy.
00:07:46
Speaker
was both a written test and a um panel where you had to present your your case studies of things you had done. It really was no joke. I did go back for my master's in journalism.
00:07:57
Speaker
I didn't finish to my chagrin. Life took over, getting married and having children, but I did get a little more than halfway through the program. um And ah ah maybe I should go back.
00:08:08
Speaker
But I do think that journalism and communications, there's so many similarities, obviously, don't deep sense of curiosity that a journalist have. You have to really be discerning, ask really good questions.
00:08:20
Speaker
And it's the same in the communications field. Yeah. That's so cool. I just think that it's so interesting to hear other people's career paths because so many times we think it has to be this like linear thing.
00:08:33
Speaker
And that ends up being what gets us stuck. I coach so many women in like the 30s and 40s are just at this point where they're like, I don't actually like what I'm doing. But I got a degree in it and i have 20 plus years of experience in it. And so how do I just like burn it all down and start over?
00:08:52
Speaker
And how do I pivot? It's so important to remember that you don't necessarily need a degree in something if that's the thing that you're naturally good at. If you went to camp in as a teenager and said, I could represent this camp, right? If there's something inside of you. There was something in there.
00:09:08
Speaker
Yeah, yeah like I actually was very lucky to see, i went to a program at Penn, a women's
Rethinking Career Growth: Jungle Gym vs. Ladder
00:09:13
Speaker
executive program. And while we were at the executive program, Sheryl Sandberg came and spoke of Lean In fame.
00:09:19
Speaker
When she spoke and she talked about, think about your career as a jungle gym, not a ladder, that resonated with me. Because, you know, sometimes you do need to take a step to the side and maybe even a step back in title to pivot.
00:09:34
Speaker
And so when I moved from first agency to higher education, then higher education to corporate. That was the corporate team as they were interviewing me. They really took a long time to make that decision. I think they really had to think long and hard, like would this person fit in, in a corporate environment?
00:09:53
Speaker
And it was a lower title than where I was even at the agency side. Right. And so lower meaning I went from like a vice president to a manager. Okay. Right? And so but you have to look at it in terms of the scope of what it is. I was going from a so you know a small agency to 15,000-person organization for just the U.S. and Canada for Saint-Gobain, right? So you have to really look at it in it in the full breadth of things, but put your ego a bit to the side to learn how to pivot, right? So that jungle gym, it's not always going to be straight up the ladder. It might be a little to the side. It might be...
00:10:32
Speaker
maybe step down the ladder air quotes, right? Like maybe a step back to be able to then really advance quickly, which is what happened. Yeah. And so it sounds like you've won all these awards, you're at the top of an organization. And so there was a lot of work involved in that.
00:10:50
Speaker
And did it seem like it was so much of you? Like, were you putting in a lot of you where like you were the career woman or are? Yes, yes, yes. And yes. You know, I've always had, even though I just told you the story, I really, everything had fallen in my lap. I actually had a really good work ethic and sense of wanting to achieve right Like a high high achiever. And always, whether it was for you know the sports teams I was on or for an academic setting, I really strove to be the best i could be.
00:11:22
Speaker
And so I really had big eyes from the very beginning. Like, how am I going to get up? How am I going to grow? How am I going to... keep moving forward in my career and not just rest on my laurels, right? Like really pushed myself. And that came from having that
Balancing Career and Family
00:11:40
Speaker
drive. And it's it's it's an internal drive to want more for myself. So I will say like, it's not like I ended up as the number one for the U.S. and Canada just by chance. I really,
00:11:52
Speaker
built my career up to that. And then as I was building each step of my career, I got more crystal clear about, okay, what do I really want? Do I want to be one member of a team or do I want to lead a team?
00:12:05
Speaker
Do I want to be that number one and step forward to be the decision maker or to be the driver? Or did I not? And I kept testing it in different ways and I knew i really wanted it.
00:12:17
Speaker
I really wanted it. It did take a lot of drive. And I think that I put a lot of my heart and soul into it. A lot of blood, sweat and tears into my career. And I did it because it was what was driving me. I got a lot of both professional and personal pride out of that.
00:12:36
Speaker
It was important to me. Yeah. So you kind of mentioned before you got married, had kids. So tell me more about that side of things. so that definitely was also a journey and there require a lot of grit and determination.
00:12:51
Speaker
i got married on what I considered the later side of life. I was in my my early 30s when I got married to, but actually got married once and then I, it was a mistake, a hiccup.
00:13:02
Speaker
And then I got out of that quickly and then moved on and found the man who i am currently married to. But it was in my early 30s when all that was happening. And i definitely watched everyone around me having children and, you know, navigating my friends, navigating their lives and having kids.
00:13:17
Speaker
And I knew I wanted children. i wanted a family. but it took me a little longer to find the right person. i did find the right person. And then wham bam, it did not happen the way I thought that it would in terms of starting a family.
00:13:31
Speaker
Because it took some great science and help to allow me to to go through the fertility journey that was a long journey for me. I will say that as I was building my career, you know, I was in my early 30s. was trying to both build my career, but also trying to build a family.
00:13:49
Speaker
And that was definitely challenging, right? Because I, especially going through the fertility journey, A, costly, B, time intensive. For anyone who's gone through that journey who is considering going through the journey, it's both emotional and physical.
00:14:05
Speaker
It's a lot on you and your body and you're putting hormones in yourself and you're trying to also stay sane and keep your... keep the day-to-day work going and straight. So, um but it I will say it is doable.
00:14:20
Speaker
um If I can do it, anybody can do it. But it ah it definitely took some, so as I said, grit and determination. I had to really want it. Like many things in my life, I had to fight for it.
00:14:30
Speaker
Like that one, again, I thought it would come easy and it didn't. ah but Yeah. Yeah. I remember a reproductive endocrinologist saying to me the first time I met her and I came prepared with, you know, my laundry list of all these questions. I had everything written down and organized. And she said, if you're a really type A person, this is going to be really hard. Right.
00:14:50
Speaker
because there's so much out of your control. So yeah, for me, it was like a big lesson in learning that I can put as much hard work into anything and it may or may not end up working out.
00:15:01
Speaker
Exactly, exactly. And also how to pivot when it doesn't work out. Yeah. I give a lot of credit to some of the other bosses and women in my life. I'll never forget. I had gone through multiple rounds of IVF. It was had failed and I was really down and at my wits end. And i had a boss, um Deborah Prochko, shout out to Deb, who said to me like, hey, have you considered going to a different doctor? And I was like, huh.
00:15:27
Speaker
No, actually hadn't thought but of that. Right. So it was just like, you know, um going to a specialist who was able to determine like, oh, this is actually an egg issue.
00:15:39
Speaker
And so I went to a specialist who in OO sites and they happened to be not around the corner. They were at least not a flight away, but they were a couple hours in the car.
00:15:50
Speaker
and found the right specialist who could help me. In fact, when I got pregnant and we were driving back and forth to the doctor, we nicknamed the baby in utero Miles for all the miles and miles that we had driven to have the child. We didn't name him that ultimately, but we did have a good giggle about it. Yeah.
00:16:09
Speaker
And so then it worked out. It did. it did. i had a beautiful baby boy. His name is Benjamin. I also, from that first round with the second doctor, i had what he coined my family in a freezer but waiting for me for when I was ready to have my second child.
00:16:28
Speaker
And so we waited a little bit and then unfortunately it did not work. And so we had to go back to the well And um I will say with some additional science and some other, what I'll say, like not your conventional methods, I ended up with a daughter.
00:16:43
Speaker
I'll just be very blunt. It was a donor egg, you know, and that was only open to me because I had a friend who had done it. And she had shared with me her journey. So i'm I'll just be very open that, you know, sometimes the journey can be different for everyone, right? I'm very lucky that the science and the technology was there and I was able to make it happen.
00:17:04
Speaker
Thanks to science. Yes. So you know how you have a 16-year-old son and ah daughter. She's going to be 11 the summer. ah love it Okay.
00:17:15
Speaker
So five and a half years in between. so you can see it took some time. Yeah. How did you manage that while you were building your career? and It's a lot to juggle raising a family.
00:17:27
Speaker
But it's also a lot to juggle starting a family. And like you said, the hormones and the treatments and the roller coaster of every month, wandering and waiting and, you know, disappointment and things like that. So how how did you manage all of that?
00:17:41
Speaker
Well, say that, you know, therapy is a beautiful thing. So lots of therapy, you know, for me to help me, you know, work through my feelings about everything I was going through. I will say too that, you know, I had both the laser focus on my career and on the focus on building my family, but that was really where my focus was, right? Those two things were my key focus and my body paid the price. I put on a ton of weight. I wasn't working out. i was like, you know, I was having other challenges because i was, you know, so focused on both my career and this fertility journey.
00:18:19
Speaker
But I do believe in my heart of hearts that you give a busy person something to do and they'll get it done. Right. So I don't mean to make light of it, but I was a very busy person and I was able to prioritize the things that were most important to me.
00:18:34
Speaker
Right. And those those were the two I mean, the two most important things to me was to to build my family and to grow my career. And depending on the day, one was more important than the other. It was interchangeable.
00:18:46
Speaker
They were both driving forces in my story. who so it sounds like a lot of clarity around priorities, which we'll talk a lot more about in our next episode. I think probably maybe but lots of lessons learned from the journey to parenthood to then take into parenthood, it sounds like.
00:19:07
Speaker
Right. Yeah, exactly. I'm sure we'll talk about this more in the second episode, but you know, as I'm trying to build the family from one child to a second child and also grow my career, the only way to do that is with extra help.
00:19:20
Speaker
Right. So there were investments I had to make not only in the fertility journey, but in the childcare journey as
Identity Shifts and Personal Growth
00:19:27
Speaker
well. You'd be able to make that work. Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker
So one of the things that we talked about a little bit last time is you talked about how your career had been your whole identity and you were really wrapped up in that. And at some point you made a conscious shift away from that. So can you tell us more about that?
00:19:48
Speaker
Sure. Well, one thing after I had both my children is I began a health journey um and that became my new driving kind of force besides, you know, I'll call it the trio of career, family, and personal health.
00:20:02
Speaker
I had been doing, as i know and I know you are also on this journey as well, is as as a Pelotoner. um i got myself a Peloton as part of my health journey and I became pretty t addicted to the whole experience, the online community, building my friendship network through Peloton and also my health through Peloton. And I had my username, which was PR Savvy, very much tied to my career, you know, what I've been doing. It's been a big part of who I am. I think I i might have also shared, a share here that um my license plate was
00:20:41
Speaker
was PR savvy or I also had another license to take PR pro my email address. i mean, you name it, PR was a big part of it. Now, when i used it for my leaderboard name for Peloton, I thought I was super clever by saying there was a double entendre of PR for public relations and PR for personal record. I kind was skirting the, ah you know, not fully, but you know, I was kind of whitewashing it for myself.
00:21:06
Speaker
um And then I had a, a challenging situation with a career moment where, you know, the company made some decisions and I found myself um looking for a new job. And I decided during that period, like, hey, my whole world is wrapped up in, and actually that coincided with COVID. So there was a lot going on at the moment, right? And I said to myself, like,
00:21:30
Speaker
I can't have my whole life be just about my career. and so I decided to make a conscious shift to change my leaderboard name and instead have my leaderboard name reflect the kind of work I was doing in my health journey, which at that time was the PowerZone work. So Peloton has this, um as you know, Liana, it's a kind of training where you work out to your own.
00:21:57
Speaker
You take a test. so that you're, it's a functional threshold performance test, and you then set your zones to work towards you where you are in your own physical fitness. So my zone one and your zone one are not gonna be the same. My zone five, your zone five are not the but it's, I'm working to compete against myself.
00:22:17
Speaker
that really resonated with me in my training. And so I said that, you know, time to shift it up a bit and make that conscious shift to be more about who I am as a person and not just who I am as ah in my career.
00:22:31
Speaker
and So what did that look like for you? Well, the most visible piece of it was the changing of my leaderboard. Maybe I should say, what does that feel like for you? That's more what I'm interested in is like, how was that experience for you? Super empowering. I mean, a little scary. There's something about that experience that resonates with another time in my life when I took a sabbatical from work after I had my first child.
00:22:57
Speaker
So after I had been, and I was working at Lehigh, Lehigh offered a sabbatical for both academic staff and also professional staff. And so I had worked so hard to get pregnant. I was like, I'm gonna take a sabbatical.
00:23:12
Speaker
So I took that sabbatical. It was a six-month sabbatical. I had to, you know, do all the paperwork and everything. I had to save up money because it wasn't fully paid during that period of time. There were some caveats that come with taking a sabbatical. So I really prepared myself both from a professional standpoint, financially, et cetera, to take that six months to be home with my son. um And then I was home with him and I was like, okay.
00:23:34
Speaker
Like, this it like actually real, like, woo, this is hard. Like yeah my whole, like I had been like in such a routine of work, work, work, work. work work work And this was a different kind of work. Actually really hard. it was really, of course, fulfilling, nothing, you know,
00:23:52
Speaker
I don't think anybody can prepare you for both the challenge and the fulfillment that comes with being a parent. But I remember being home that six months and feeling like a little like, whoa, like, who am I? What am i So when that shift happened and the company, you know, all of a sudden I didn't have a job,
00:24:10
Speaker
I found myself like, i you know, because I had been pursued for every job I ever went. I'd been recruited. Like, it's first time in my career. I really found myself like, wait a minute. Like, I'm so wrapped up. So it was kind of a similar feeling of like, your feet are not on the ground. You're like, whoo, what is happening? Who am i So I liken it to the two experiences, very similar. it felt very disconcerning, scary, but also...
00:24:40
Speaker
very empowering at the same time. You know, they say, you know, with sometimes the worst comes the best, you know, like you have to kind of like learn how to switch it in your mind. Like, okay, this is actually an opportunity, the opportunity be home with son. Like, even if I'm like not getting any sleep and I'm losing my mind or when I lost my job, like, this is an opportunity to really get crystal
Reflecting on Career Clarity and Transitions
00:25:03
Speaker
clear. Like, what do I want out of the next step of my career?
00:25:07
Speaker
What am I looking for? What are my deal breakers? And it really helped me kind of hone in, as I said earlier about like, I know I want to be that number one.
00:25:18
Speaker
I'm ready. feel ready for it. Right. And I'm going to not just look at every opportunity that shows up in a good enough position. I'm very lucky to be in that position financially, et cetera, to say, all right, I can take a breath and I can do the hard work to be clear on it. I worked with a career coach.
00:25:37
Speaker
I did do some freelance work on the side during that period as well, just to calm everyone down. Cause I'm sure You may have this experience with your significant other. There was also some fear there, like, okay, what's going to happen here with our family?
00:25:51
Speaker
How long is this going to last? It allowed me to be more discerning in the selection of the next opportunity. Yeah. Well, I see that all the time with transitioning to motherhood, where it's like this huge identity shift. It's like, who am I? What I was doing before isn't necessarily going to work. It's that idea of kind of what got me here won't get me there.
00:26:13
Speaker
Because the way that I was working before, wow I have to rethink how I do all of that and what my relationship is with work. Because if I was pouring close to 100% of myself into my work and now I might not have that to give anymore because so much of it also needs to go to this little human that I have. And how do I do it? And so I think that that is similar in a layoff whenever you've been pouring so much of yourself into it.
00:26:40
Speaker
And then suddenly there's a situation where, you you know, you're like, whoa, what is happening here? you know, this this was where I was putting all my energy. And now what do I do? And to your point, there are different ways to react to it, but I think the opportunity there is to find clarity, is to ask yourself, what do I want here? And I think similarly, whenever, you know, there's a new baby, like, what do I want here? How do I want to show up as a mother? How do i want to show up at work now? Well, how do I want to shift this? And I think it's so important to take those steps back to check in with ourselves and figure out what do I want out of this?
00:27:15
Speaker
Absolutely. and I mean, it's not like when you have a child, you're still not, it's not that you're not giving 100% because you probably are going to be giving 100% and then some. sure It's more about how you tackle it, how you set boundaries, how you prioritize, how you get it done when it really has to get done, right? I'm sure you've had many a working mother who have shared their story of, okay, well,
00:27:43
Speaker
I'll pause when it's time, you know, at the day so i can focus on my family, get the dinner on the table, get the tubby done, get the child to sleep. And then if there's a deadline and like back on the computer and get it done so that, you know, that neither, you know, sacrifice is
