Hello!

Do you ever wonder why work sometimes feels soooo hard? Because it’s an emotional contact sport and they only rarely teach you how to deal with emotions and relationships in school or in your training at work. You can KNOW how to do your job really well and STILL struggle with confidence, communication and relationship building. But when you get a strong grip on all three of those things, it will be significantly easier to build a successful career for yourself.
I’m Lori Jo Vest and I’ve spent the last 30 years working in a lot of different places – big companies, small companies, mom and pop operations – and now, I’m living a pretty darn happy laptop lifestyle doing social media strategy and copy-writing.   Somewhere along the way, I became Work Mom, when I realized how much I love working with young people, helping them navigate difficult situations at work.
