In this episode of Beginner Women, host Katharine Cornfield is joined by Jean-Philippe (JP) Michel, founder of SparkPath, a company helping young people to create extraordinary careers by exploring the real-world challenges that inspire them. Through SparkPath, Jean-Phillipe is working to pivot the career conversation away from job title ambitions toward problem-solving and purpose.

In this episode, Katharine and Jean-Philippe explore:

• Purpose-driven, rather than title-driven, career development models.
• Encouraging Beginner Women to adopt a problem-solving mindset that reframes challenges as opportunities.
• Equipping Beginner Women with the skills they need to solve the problems they are passionate about.
• Strategies to help Beginner Women learn about their interests and motivations, and the influence this can have on career and education choices.
• Advice for parents and teachers as they guide Beginner Women through education and career choices and advancement.
