Welcome to the Finding Your EPIC® podcast.

In this episode, host Jacqueline Frost talks to Michelle Stokes, Global Talent Development Lead, Organon.

Jacqueline and Michelle discuss her career journey, sharing her transition from sales to learning and development at Organon. She emphasises viewing careers as long-term journeys rather than just jobs. Drawing from her childhood love of Lego, Michelle reflects on how early interests often shape career choices. She describes how career paths have evolved from traditional ladders to more flexible trajectories, advocating for finding joy in one’s work. The conversation concludes with a powerful quote from Rosalynn Carter: “A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.”
