Find Your Hybrid Identity Featuring Sarabeth Berk
Dr. Sarabeth Berk is a hybrid professional who also researches hybrid professional identity. She calls herself a creative disruptor because she blends her artist/researcher/educator/designer identities to lead and create innovation strategies that radically connect resources and people in new ways.
We discuss:

- How to stand out in a crowded field [18:18]
- Why it’s crucial to revisit and examine the hybrid side of our professional work [20:34]
After Sarabeth underwent her own professional identity crisis, she learned she was a hybrid and that concept revolutionized her career path. Now, she’s obsessed with changing the way we see the workforce and helping professionals realize that their unique value lies at the intersections of their multiple identities.
