Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Episode 94 – An interview with Kelli Hansen
Join me for the career reflections of Kelli Hansen, founder of BCC Evolution. A story about turning tragedy into action and making a difference.
After a few career starts and stops, Kelli now has profound clarity about her purpose – education and awareness about mental health. Find out how her sister’s suicide compelled her to start a non-profit, BCC Evolution. Initially she’s focused on suicide awareness but discovers she can have a greater impact addressing the root cause, so she’s now focusing on mental health education and awareness.
What’s served her best is her openness and open heart, having space in her heart to help people; and finding different things that make her happy and surrounding herself with like-minded people. Her mantra: “Dance like no one is watching!” And her words of wisdom: “Open your mouth, minds & hearts and together we can make mental health matter.”
