Description

True “job security” as guaranteed lifetime employment was never a reality, though the perception of it was stronger in previous generations.


In this episode, Kendall Berg sits down with career strategist Renata Bernarde to talk about what it really takes to stay relevant when the rules of work keep changing. From quiet layoffs to invisible promotion ceilings, they dig into why waiting to be “discovered” is no longer a strategy but a trap.

Renata shares how thinking like the CEO of your own career changes everything: the way you network, the way you show up online, and the way you plan for the future version of you.
Together, she and Kendall dive into the power of self-agency, the networking realities behind senior-level hiring, and how to plan your career with your 70-year-old self in mind.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, restless, or ready to pivot, this conversation will help you build the kind of career that lasts no matter what the market does next.
