Welcome to the show Mary-Chelsea Banister.  MC graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Business Management, focused specifically on Supply Chain, and a minor in Fashion Merchandising. Technically her career started when she was 16, with her first job at a Gap store. After earning her degree from UGA, Mary-Chelsea moved to Atlanta where she worked for Carter’s (the baby apparel company) as a Senior Analyst. She spent quite a few years transitioning roles across departments and determined to be a sponge to soak up as much industry knowledge as possible. Her path consisted of operations, retail buying / planning / allocations, to omnichannel (a super innovative team that spearheaded a lot of new company projects).

After a few personal life challenges, MC made a change from the Fortune 1K path and pursued a role with a smaller but growing company in Charleston, SC. 

Here we will discuss all of the different challenges life threw at her, and how she pivoted and re-evaluated her life through the lens of her morals and values.

" No links. Just would love to encourage others to network, find a mentor(s), and trust your gut when it comes to risk-taking. I wouldn’t be where I am today without all of this!" -  Mary-Chelsea Banister

Worksheet template #2 : Personal Values  < click to download

 Whether you realize it or not, every time you make a choice about doing one thing as opposed to another, you make a value decision. When you have a decision that involves two or more conflicting values that are of major importance to you, the decision can be extremely difficult to make (e.g., career values may conflict with family and friendship values). You can, however, make these decisions more effectively if you have some idea of what your most important values are and the priority that you give to each.
The following exercise will help you to understand what personal values are, which personal values are important to you, and what priorities you give to them. In reality, your values are expressed through your actions. If you can bring your actions more into harmony with your values, you will feel more in control of your life and more satisfied with the decisions you make.
