Episode 8 - Janel Brandon: Chasing discomfort gives you power to grow, owning your mistakes gives you power to do what needs to be done.

Undoing Perfectionism

Janel Brandon is a Senior Software Developer and Educator based in Brisbane, Australia. Having built a successful career at IBM in the U.S for 17 years, she found that the hard work she put in sometimes came at a cost to other people and aspects of her life. With the help of mentors and some introspection, she took the steps to find balance and has become a powerful mentor herself. I was fortunate enough to be a student of hers at Coder Academy in 2018, where her guidance was a highlight to my experience there, and it helped lay the foundation for my core skills I have been using on the daily as a Developer since. Thanks Janel!
