316 I What It Really Looks Like to Build a Career Around Your Values with Tara Chklovski

Are you feeling stuck in your current role but not quite ready to hand in your resignation? Do you find yourself wondering whether the career you've built truly reflects what matters most to you? Are you curious about what it really looks like to build a career around your values, and how one woman did exactly that on a global scale ? In this episode, I sit down with Tara Chklovski , founder of Technovation, to explore what it really looks like to build a career driven by purpose and impact. We cover how social norms shape the careers women feel able to pursue, why confidence is a skill that can be cultivated, and how aligning your work with your values can create a ripple effect far beyond your own life. Whether you're navigating a transition or simply craving more alignment, this episode will inspire you. Tara Chklovski, founder and CEO of Technovation, is reshaping opportunities for young women in technology. Inspired by her experiences growing up in India and working as an aerospace engineer, she developed a widely-adopted education model that combines mentorship, hands-on learning, and entrepreneurship to prepare girls to thrive in tech. Named by Techcrunch as “teaching the next generation of AI innovators,” she has built Technovation into a movement reaching 400,000+ people across 160+ countries. Her research shows that AI education for girls could unlock a $200 billion opportunity for the world economy. Through Technovation and The AI Forward Alliance (TAIFA), she’s preparing 25 million young women to lead in AI innovation and tackle global challenges. What You'll Learn: Build a Career With Purpose: How Tara's journey from aerospace engineering to global nonprofit leadership shows what it truly looks like to build a career around impact and values. Challenging Social Norms: How deeply ingrained social norms shape the career choices of girls and women worldwide - and how we can begin to challenge them. Confidence as a Skill: Why confidence isn't something you're born with, and how to cultivate it through real-world experience and problem solving. "Build a career around your values, and the impact you create will reach far beyond what you can imagine."
