EP 023 - From the News Desk to the C Suite - Growing Into a New Career with Wendy Damonte

September 13, 2022 • Rowe Media & Servicing • Season 1 • Episode 23

The local face of Reno news for more than two decades, Wendy Damonte joins us to discuss the massive shift she made in her career and how she gave herself permission to see herself – and identify herself – in a new way.

From how our identities can hold us back – and likely have so much more to offer – to the importance of stepping out of the comfortable and into the pain of growth, Wendy gives us all she’s got and then some.

Join us to hear:

why Wendy believes in being flexible on how you perceive yourself
trusting your Universe, and what they see in you
why Wendy says you need to take your earned relationships with you
how others’ points of view can be the answer to seeing what you’re capable of
who Wendy chooses to partner with and endorse and what drives her to do it
Wendy’s new side “passion” hustle, and how she stepped up for herself with the opportunity
