The way we work is changing –and it’s changing FAST!

Flexibility is IN, and traditional employment models that require workers to put in 80+ hour weeks in an on-site cubicle are OUT.

Well, maybe it’s not ‘out’ completely, but the current workplace model is definitely shifting towards inclusivity, and we’re redefining what the work week looks like.

And we are HERE for it!

Today’s amazing guest has been at the forefront of this new workplace shift, and she is a loud advocate for workforce innovation, inclusivity, and flexibility for moms, caretakers, and every person experiencing alternative living situations.

Oh, did I mention she used to be the student body President at WSU? Go Cougs!!

Brea Starmer is a WSU alumni, mother, a writer, a speaker, and the Founder of Lions + Tigers, a talent lab driving workforce innovation and building bridges to the future of work.

In this episode of CougsFirst!, Brea and I discuss her time at WSU, including why she decided to run for student body president, what she learned from her experience, and how it impacted her career. Brea also shares how unexpected events in her career trajectory led her to build a consultancy specializing in fractional work and why her passion is to create a bridge for companies to meet their workforce where they’re at in their current stage of life.
