In today’s episode, we’ll explore how taking initiative and creating your own opportunities can transform your career. I’m thrilled to welcome our guest, Dr. Georgette Chekiri, a family medicine physician who has navigated a successful and unconventional career path. Dr. Chekiri’s journey is a testament to the importance of transferable skills and being proactive. From her early career aspirations to her diverse job experiences, including a stint at Disney World and working in a chicken processing plant, Dr. Chekiri has embraced every opportunity with determination and resilience. Now, she serves as a medical director in life insurance medicine, a role she discovered through her resourcefulness and willingness to explore non-traditional avenues.

- How you can find job satisfaction in unlikely places.
