Episode 8: Meaning Over Meatballs with Melissa Wisniewski
On this episode, I chat with my dear friend and incredible professional, Melissa Wisniewski, Dean of Enrollment at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. We dive into her pivotal "meatball" moment and how it shaped her career path and views on leadership.
Melissa shares how losing a friend and an unsupportive boss led her to prioritize meaning in her work. We talk about recognizing catalyst experiences, finding purpose in work, and how trust and support are crucial in leadership.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about balancing life’s meatballs with moments of meaning!
