Yesterday I attended a lunch given by a group called Nexxt Phase: a networking community of women looking to get back into the workforce after a hiatus.

According to Marci Alboher (www.heymarci.com) I am a career slash: In addition to being a career consultant I am head of marketing for the global trade association for executive search. The career work I do is typically focused on women in mid-life who are struggling to either a) get back to work after a hiatus to raise kids, or b) are simply looking for more meaning and connectedness from work and life.
