From Breakdown at Starbucks to a Career Pivot with Ivy Slater

Nov 14, 2022

Our guest for the second episode in this series is Ivy Slater, CEO of Slater Success; a boutique training, consulting and coaching company. Ivy joins Coach Keren to talk about her own midlife crisis to awakening story, that all started with a breakdown in a Starbucks line, and through her moment of reckoning at the realization that her dreams of becoming a dancer had somehow ended in a career in printing. From there, Ivy pivoted, and she shares how she navigated this monumental change and how she got to where she is today.
