222: If They Don't Promote You, Promote Yourself
Claudia Miller was the first person in her family to be educated beyond the eighth grade. She was determined to check off all the boxes: excel in school, attend a good university, land a great-paying job, and live the American dream. Unfortunately, it did not go exactly as she had planned. When she graduated college, Claudia had no job offers waiting for her. She ended up just taking a job that was available. This experience propelled her on a five-year journey, determined to learn what was necessary to find satisfying work, grow her income, and build her network. Claudia worked in several industries and went on to earn her master’s degree in public health policy and administration. From there, she started a coaching business and, in 2020, became a full-time entrepreneur.
As a Guatemalan-American, Claudia struggled to find her way in corporate America. She relied on education to rise above her humble beginnings, and now she teaches other women how to become successful.
Today, she is a career coach for women in technology, and she's helped her clients land fulfilling senior-level jobs. Claudia partners with companies and organizations to identify rising stars, providing strategy, insights, and support to develop a leadership and talent pipeline focusing on women and women of color.
In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, follow Claudia’s journey and work:
- Claudia has partnered with World Business Chicago in developing a workforce development strategy in coordination with the City of Chicago's efforts to decrease unemployment rates for persons of color.
- Claudia has been featured in Forbes, MSNBC, Thrive Global, and Business Insider, named her one of the Top Innovative Career Coaches.

1 年Love this. This weekend I told a group of young people something that relates to this. I told them, “if you can budget to buy shoes, you can budget to pay for your own development. If your employer pays for your professional development, save the money and invest it. If they don’t, use the money to fund your professional dreams. Control your own career progress.”
