Finding Fulfillment in Your Occupation with Lauren Celano

Oct 14, 2020

 

 

Lauren Celano is the Founder and CEO of Propel Careers, a firm that offers recruitment services in the life sciences sector. They help life sciences companies hire for their research, commercial, and clinical teams. More than a recruiting company, Lauren and her team also offer coaching services to help aspiring talents with their career search. Before she founded Propel Careers, Lauren had an extensive career in developing businesses in the novel therapeutics industry.

 

Lauren joins me today to discuss how a career in the life sciences industry has changed her mindset on healthcare. She shares how her family influenced her career trajectory and how college opened the door to opportunities she never considered. She explains the importance of hiring not just for talent, but also for team chemistry. Lauren also describes why many today don’t realize they’re leading unfulfilled lives until they’re too old or it’s too late to change directions.

 



"It's important to take time to carve out 'Are you aligned? Are you in the right place?' So then if you're not, you can make choices to help influence that direction." - Lauren Celano
