In this 30 min episode of the weekly #PostdocTransformation show, Prof. Dr. Eleonore Soei-Winkels covers a retrospective on how she capitalized on her PhD in neuroscience (2008) as a mom, professor & business owner. How she leaped into IT just one month after her graduation day, honing her transferable skills during the PhD. She shares the diverse jobs in IT strategy consulting and how her psychology background has always been advantageous. She transitioned her career back to academia to be appointed as a professor based on her pregnancy and motherhood according to her vision of life. As she has always aligned with the future of work, she founded and later reinvented her business. To prevent burnout, she maintains a lifelong learner to cater her clients' and children's needs.
