   51. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton: From Professional Identity Crisis to Seen, Known, and Valued

   Dr. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton is a Career Breaker. Her career never followed a straight line. From studying both art and theory to becoming an educator, researcher, and innovation leader, Sarabeth found herself constantly navigating roles that didn’t quite fit into one clear category. Along the way, she experienced multiple professional identity crises—moments where she questioned not just what she did, but who she was in her work. In this episode, Sarabeth shares how those moments led her to study professional identity and ultimately build her body of work around helping others understand who they are beyond their job titles. She talks about the concept of hybrid professionals, why the idea of “fit” is breaking down in today’s workforce, and how her journey shaped her books More Than My Title and Seen, Known, and Valued. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in your work, struggled to explain what you do, or wondered where you truly belong in your career, this episode is for you.

[…] I did field hockey in middle school and high school, and then I ran track, and a lot of people think of track or running as an individual sport, but the part that I loved the most about that is It was a team like we were trying to score points together as a team and I was part of a relay team and I really enjoyed like pushing each other and working together.
