From victim to hero. Julia Lazareck is closing the empathy gap. After her brother passed away while incarcerated, Julia realized she had been living the sentence along with him. After coming to this realization, Julia started talking to people and was lucky to find a support group. She was at a low point in her life, confused with guilt and shame, but these people showed her that she could live her own life and that she had a lot of life left. Julia founded the blog Prison: The Hidden Sentence where she told her story and began interviewing people so that they could share their stories and raise awareness about the traumatic experience families go through having a loved one incarcerated. The Nevada Department of Corrections, FIT, and CURE have been great programs for people with re-entry, bringing more support to the families so they can lead balanced lives, and work with the local support group Friends and Family of Incarcerated Persons (FFIP). 

 

Julia Lazareck is available to speak to your group or organization to help spread awareness.

A dedication and an understanding that she was going have to work on her mindset is what propelled Leah Garcia as she became her own boss. When re-inventing herself she knew that she wanted to do something great that would impact people positively and leave a legacy behind. She never stood out in a crowd, but still wanted to be impactful. Hearing stories of other people is the best way she can learn how to best assist them in meeting their financial goals. Collaboration and partnership are the tools she uses to cultivate successful relationships in business.

Sonia Petkowich’s father taught her early on to “leave things better than you found them,” and also that there is value to having an impact on the community. At a young age she was very independent, so she knew she didn’t want to be working in the system, as another cog in the wheel. She didn’t let a lack of a college degree hold her back. Mentorship and sponsorship were powerful tools she used to propel her forward. Sonia reminds us that knowing the difference between a mentor and a sponsor can help you get ahead in your career. Having someone to stand behind you to “co-sign” for you on the project is useful, so find a sponsor who can help support you on projects. Still using the spray and pray method for job hunting?  If you are looking for job placement within the Information Technology community, then Taurean Consulting Group can help prepare and coach you to find the right position for your goals. Sending out the same resume to multiple job openings and praying that someone will hire you is not a good tactic. Also, recruiters shouldn’t charge the candidates. Taurean Consulting does not charge candidates when they apply for work. Learn more at: http://www.taureanconsulting.net/
