Podcast Episode #455
Shannon Miles joins us today to discuss her new book, The Third Option, and the rise of working from home.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- “It’s important to have women in the room and speaking into major decisions in the church and workplace.”
- “Women do not have to choose between careers or families. There’s a way to do both and succeed.”
- Making working from home succeed requires a mindset shift to think that employees can get their job done while not having to be in the office.
About the Book:
The Third Option encourages you to be honest with yourself, to dream what is possible, and helps you decide when the time is right make a change. It will start you on a path to do what’s required to go after your own third option, where you can live and work on your own terms.
