Judy Schoenberg left an executive role in the not-for-profit sector to become a mission-driven entrepreneur. She and her co-founder Linda Lautenberg built EvolveMe to help women in midlife get clear on next steps and launch the best career chapter of their lives.


Listen in HERE to hear these tips that apply to everyone:

1. Ditch the career ladder and the “shoulds.” Your first step is about checking in with you. Check out their free SWOT** tool (Strengths, Wishes, Opportunities and Truths)

2. Don’t go it alone. Judy shares the power of community. Job seekers from a variety of industries and experiences gain confidence faster and see new paths when they are on the search together.

3. A compelling “elevator pitch” is about your future, the impact you want to have, and your values.

4. Defining and managing your personal brand puts you in the driver's seat. This articulation helps your network make the best connections for you.

5. Try it on. Strategic volunteering (even one day) or project-based work will give you the exposure to the not-for-profit sector you need to see if it’s the right match for you at this moment.

For women in midlife, this Guide to Getting Back to Work is a can’t-miss episode. Judy shares the most common stumbling blocks and how to clear them. (Hint: growth mindset, self-reflection, career reframing, it’s not too late). She noticed that women tend to focus on doing a great job in their current roles and neglect to think about their careers.

If you don’t know where to begin or are feeling rudderless, this episode is for you. Judy distills the job search and will help you move your bias toward action.
