In today’s episode of the Modern Independent, Nancy and IndeCollective's Head of Community, Jan Almasy, unpack some of the key insights Nancy has gleaned over the course of her career in corporate and as an independent.

--> They start by providing insight into how Nancy navigated not one, but four layoffs/sudden career shifts throughout her career.

--> And then they unpack Nancy’s approach to deconstructing a company’s culture and finding ways to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion at every level - from executive leadership to entry-level.
