Out of Office Isenberg Women in Business

Happy almost summer!!☀️

Today, Megan and Lisa reflected on some fun end-of-semester activities and divulged their team building takeaways. They also exchanged a few past summer highlights and shared their plans for this upcoming summer. From beaches to lakes, internships to getaways, there is so much to look forward to! Lastly, Lisa said goodbye to the podcast, with a pinky promise to come back next year and share all she’s learned since graduating. 🥰

Happy first day of May!🌷

This week, we had the honor of hosting two Women in Business legacies, former Co-Presidents Tyler Spellman and Alyssa Biscotti! Tyler, an insurance senior at EY living in Quincy, shared some tips for moving back home after graduation, and discussed her experience adjusting to the demands of a fast-paced 9-5. Alyssa, an audit & assurance senior at Deloitte living in South Boston, candidly spoke about her struggles acclimating to new environments, and the similarities between navigating your freshman year in college and your first year post-grad. Tune in for some wholesome advice from two of WiB’s finest! 💜

Happy Monday!🪩

In this episode of OOO, Lisa, Megan, and Ryo got real candid about navigating external pressure in college. Whether the source of that pressure is school, family, social media (*cough* LinkedIn), or self-inflicted, we all feel it. Ryo walked us through her experience choosing the right school for her, deciding on a major, and following the career path that best fits her passions. The three of us then exchanged some advice for exploring your interests early on in your college journey, and chatted openly about overcoming rejection, Isenbro stereotypes, and the strange, alternate universe that exists only on LinkedIn. Tune in for a heartfelt, slightly unhinged episode!🧚‍♀️

Happy Monday!💚

Today, we sat down with Jan Goodman, President of Boston Cityscapes, who broke down the story of how she worked her way from the ground up, beginning as a small flower shop and flourishing into a plant empire, trailblazing industry trends in Boston. Throughout Jan’s inspiring career, she has truly followed her passion, tuning out the noise from what others were doing and staying true to her own unique journey. Jan had a vision for her future, and she lived up to that dream by advocating for herself, trusting her colleagues, and prioritizing a strong, supportive team culture. She taught us a lot about the power of plants and how they can transform your mindset, and provided some clarity as we navigate our long-term career paths. If you’re in need of some inspiration and career guidance, this one’s a must-listen! 🌿

Happy Thursday!🫶

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming Laura Balinski and Abbie Stevenson, last year's Co-Presidents, back for a much needed advice session. With graduation right around the corner for our co-host Lisa and the rest of our WiB seniors, recording this episode was crucial! Abbie and Laura discussed the importance of taking time to recharge after a busy senior year, moving into their first city apartments, starting their first "big girl" jobs, and maintaining a sense of community after moving beyond the friendship factory that is college. We also got the inside scoop on some of Boston's trendiest restaurants that we have already added to our city bucket lists! Whether you're just beginning your college journey or approaching the finish line, we strongly advise you to give this one a listen!🎧

Happy winter break!❄️
