概要
Career pivots rarely happen in a straight line.
In this episode of Her Next Chapters, Christina talks with Brenda Brusegard, founder of Informed Tech Solutions, about her unconventional career journey from middle school science teacher to international educator to tech and AI consultant helping business owners streamline their operations.
Brenda spent more than 15 years in education, teaching in the U.S. and internationally in Ecuador, India, and Panama. Along the way, she discovered a love for technology, research, and problem-solving that eventually led her to start her own business helping entrepreneurs simplify their tech and automation systems using AI.
In this conversation, Brenda shares how small decisions and unexpected opportunities led to a major career shift, and why paying attention to what comes naturally to you can point toward your next chapter.
Christina and Brenda also tackle a topic that many career returners and career changers feel intimidated by: artificial intelligence. If AI feels overwhelming or unfamiliar, this episode offers a practical and encouraging starting point.
You’ll hear about:
- How following small “breadcrumbs” can lead to meaningful career pivots
- Why networking and real conversations still matter in a tech-driven world
- Simple ways to start using AI in everyday life and work
- How AI can help with tasks like planning, research, and productivity
- Why AI should do about 80% of the work, with humans responsible for the final 20%
