Episode description

In this episode, I talk to Sabina Sulat about her amazing book Agile Unemployment (https://www.amazon.com/Agile-Unemployment-Guide-Thriving-While/dp/1737718332) and what it is like to be unemployed, how to take care of yourself, and how to focus your search for the next step in your career journey. 

Sabina is a graduate of St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland. While in school, she studied philosophy, mathematics, and physics. She performed her graduate work in Industrial/Organizational Psychology through Walden University, focusing on the impact of internet use on social interactions. Sabina has spent most of her career as an HR professional and Learning & Development executive for multiple organizations at a national and global level including Magellan Health, BlueCross BlueShield, the federal government, The George Washington University, and most recently, AstraZeneca. Sabina specializes in leadership development, change management, organizational development, and DEI. Along her career journey Sabina has become certified and versed in multiple assessments including Total SDI, Bridge’s Model for Change Management, MBTI, DiSC, and others. She has also consulted with numerous organizations to develop and design programs that merge organizational goals and strategy with meeting employees’ development needs. 

Sabina has recently launched her first book, Agile Unemployment, written to help people build resilience and confidence while out of work. In spring of 2022, she will launch her second book, tentatively titled, The Working World, geared at explaining workplace dynamics and expectations to high school and college students. 

In addition to her work, Sabina spends a significant amount of her time volunteering for such organizations as ONE.org, the African Well Fund, and her alma mater, St John’s College. In her personal time Sabina enjoys travel, entertaining, and live music. She is hopeful we will be able to enjoy all those hobbies soon.
