I'm excited to share the second episode of the Challenge and Inspire Podcast (now on You Tube), in which I had the opportunity to sit down with Maria Lagkadinou and Dmitry Diskin, my personal heroes from Upwork and two members of a small group of very productive and empowering former team members on Upwork. I did leave out some of the juicer parts of the conversation 😉 in order to avoid creating issues for Maria and Dmitry, who are very professional and are true people of integrity.
Users who haven't interacted with them can't even begin to comprehend how influential Maria and Dmitry were, and how many Upwork team members and teams they were helping on regular basis, often stepping outside the assigned roles, duties and procedures. The conversation also touched upon @Petra and her role in setting up others for success.
💥Key Highlights:
Mentorship & Career Growth: How mentorship shaped their careers.
Freelancing Trends: Discussions on the future of freelancing amidst economic shifts.
Personal Reflections: Maria and Dmitry share their experiences with stress management, leadership, and the impact of team dynamics on growth.
