Never thought this day would arrive: HITTING 100 EPISODES ON Aarna's News since running the channel in 2020!! I'm so excited to have Limor Bergman Gross on the show with me to celebrate this milestone. What started off as a simple recording to share my passions in Economics turned into a project I couldn't even fathom. Before starting this journey, I had terrible public speaking anxiety and was afraid to talk to people older and younger than me. Now, I love holding a conversation and enjoy being in the presence of others--all because of this channel. Today, I'm honored to host Limor, former Director of Engineering at DigitalOcean and now a transformative career coach for women in tech. With over 20 years of experience, Limor is passionate about helping women break barriers, think bigger, and achieve their career goals through her result-oriented coaching. In this episode, we discuss: - Career progression in the tech industry - Building your personal brand internally and externally - Balancing a thriving career with personal life Limor's insights are invaluable for anyone looking to advance in their tech career, and her journey is nothing short of inspiring.
