Joi Gordon was working as an assistant district attorney, pursuing a legal career when one day she realized, this wasn’t her dream job. Then, while watching a morning show she learned about a nonprofit that supplied low-income women with a perfect interview outfit.  As someone who knew the power a great suit could bring, she was intrigued.  Now, Joi has served as the CEO for Dress for Success for the past two decades. The organization, which spans more than 156 cities in dozens of countries is often referred to as the “Starbucks of the nonprofit world.” In today’s episode of I Want Her Job The Podcast, Joi shares why she’s a lover of learning, why the right dress or suit can make all the difference and the importance of following your own path.

Today’s woman is looking to stick up for herself, test her courage, and build her self-confidence.

There are 101 Stories about being confident, courageous, and your true self. They are both entertaining and motivational.  Some of the proceeds from the book will support the worldwide organization, Dress for Success. Joi Gordon, the CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide, sums up the value of this book in writing the forward for this book, “I know you will finish it a different person than you were when you started it. The power of women sharing their best advice, their disappointments and triumphs, and their growth process with each other is truly astounding. What makes us successful is that we recognize we are in this together. When we actively help and appreciate each other, we are unstoppable.”    Join Amy Newmark, the publisher and editor-in-chief for Chicken Soup and me on Tuesday, May 22, 10-11 A.M. CT US.
