Michelle Zak – Making Opportunities Where There Are None

Emotional Balance Sheet with Paul Fenner

What would frequent relocations mean to your career? How would you be able to handle the constant transitions?

Michelle Zak has seen her share of transitions as a former Army officer. But as Michelle moved from military to civilian life, her husband remained in the military, requiring constant relocation. Finding a career that could move with her was a daunting task.

Ultimately deciding to control her own destiny, Michelle was able to carve out opportunities on her own, leading to her launching Four Tabs Design. Michelle shared her process of identifying her passions and strengths, creating opportunities for herself, and acknowledging the element of luck involved in finding the right clients and platforms for her work.

As someone with a military background, Michelle discussed the importance of autonomy and flexibility in leadership while recognizing the military's emphasis on following a formula. She sees her current situation as an opportunity to exercise autonomy and achieve her goals on her own terms.
