In this episode, we are joined by Alexandra Aileru, Founder of Confident Career Switch. A former high school teacher who transitioned into corporate project management, Alexandra understands firsthand how career changers, especially Black women, are often overlooked not because they lack ability, but because their experience is undervalued. She shares how learning to translate her skills, advocate for her growth, and lead through uncertainty became the foundation for the company she built to help professionals reinvent their careers without starting over. This conversation explores confidence, reinvention, and the power of creating pathways when traditional ones fall short.
