Camille is a logical creative. She is the confluence of creativity and mathematics. Camille grew up as a gymnast, dancer, ice skater, singer, and photographer, while, at the same time, was a member of the Mathematics Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta. She spent much of her career focusing on the analytical side of herself because that’s what the world was willing to pay her for. Over the last few years, she turned herself into a Tableau developer, where she gets to create beautiful, understandable business dashboards. She now gets to activate both sides of her brain and get paid pretty darn well for it. This was not an easy journey for Camille and there were some pretty painful patches for her, which we do not discuss on purpose. But she has persevered and moved on. Key Takeaways: [:56] Marc welcomes you to the episode and gives an overview of the podcast series. This month the series will be out of the normal order. This week Marc will interview Camille Knight, a logical creative who married her love for data and creativity into making beautiful Tableau dashboards for executives. She transitioned in her fifties. [1:27] Next episode will be an interview with an expert. That is usually the first episode of the series. Marc will interview Hannah Morgan of Career Sherpa fame. Hannah started in the career space right before the Great Recession. Marc will interview her about job searching in 2007, in the present day, and about her projections for 2028. [2:03] The third in the series is a topic of Marc’s choosing. He is thinking about an episode about FOMO or fear of missing out. This affects Marc and other people about to make a major change. Marc’s major change is his planned move to Mexico. [2:22] The last episode in the series is the Mailbag episode where he answers listener’s questions with Elizabeth Rabaey. Last week’s episode was the Mailbag. [2:33] Marc introduces the episode and reads Camille’s bio. [3:38] Marc welcomes Camille. Camille grew up encouraged to express herself through the arts and athletics — drawing, writing, gymnastics, dance, competitive ice skating, and singing. She decided on business marketing major for a practical career. She was already good at math. Her Math score was the highest on her SAT. She attended UT. [5:35] When Camille graduated, in the mid-eighties, the economy was “down in the dumps” and everybody was struggling to find a job. She wound up in an administrative position for the U.S. Senate. It was a great opportunity to learn about our government but it was not a creative job so she returned to school as an applied voice major. [6:34] Camille spent six years as a professional singer. Then she came back to Austin. She worked a series of administrative jobs and was invited to apply for a business analyst job. She liked the idea and went back to school for a business analyst course at ACC. It made sense and she took to it like a duck to water. [7:31] She thought she had discovered what she was meant to be doing all along. Then she took the project management professional training course and the sequel course. She started to feel that was her direction to follow. She went to work by contract at VMWare. She liked the freedom to work for a time and become a subject matter expert. [8:52] While Camille was working in one contract job, her world changed again, in 2015, when she found Tableau Desktop. For many years she had been a power user of Excel. Using Tableau was love at first sight. It allowed Camille to be creative with numbers and to tell the story in a visual way. It married the two sides of her brain. [9:47] Tableau is a data visualization tool that allows you to create various different kinds of charts using data to tell the story. Any news article that has a gorgeous chart probably uses Tableau. Camille likes to able to create something really quickly. The beautiful charts can help executives make business decisions. [10:48] It was satisfying for Camille to marry the two sides of her brain. She took a two-day course in Tableau, took a certification exam at the Tableau Conference and became a Tableau Qualified Associate. [11:40] For the last couple of years, Camille has been using Tableau to inform executive decision makers about the performance of several organizations in the healthcare sector. This work requires using mathematics to create the information needed from the data she is given, coloring each point according to the signals in the chart. [12:53] Camille feels like she has found her niche. Using Tableau comes naturally to her. She was not really happy just doing pure administrative work. [13:33] Camille had a BA certificate and a PMP certification. She enjoyed Business Analysis, but she was not very interested in being a Project Management Professional, as the work was word-focused. Analysis, reporting, and dashboarding was where she wanted to work. She could use the PMP skills in scheduling her workflow, however. [15:50] Camille just went through a lot of interviews. One came out of nowhere. She went into the interview feeling she had nothing to lose, and she was just herself. It was a great interview and she got the position. She was asked to talk to a sales consultant at Tableau. When she did, she learned that she was a content developer. [18:36] Camille had been nervous about the meeting but walked out realizing she was smarter than she thought. The nervousness came from ‘MSU.’ That confidence set her up for a good interview with the end user. [19:32] Camille never imagined herself in such a job. She is also concerned about retirement, but she likes to work, so she is considering soft retirement. She doesn’t want to stop working. She would like the freedom to take four-to-six weeks off in the summer and option to work 20 hours a week, and take a break between contracts. [20:43] Camille thinks this next job is a real positive step toward a flexible work schedule. She had had no idea she could make that happen. [21:03] Camille’s job search has taken five years. Things didn’t quite turn out the way she planned. She hit Tableau at a very good time, when there are no experts. It’s too new. Camille gravitated to it and sucked it up. She dug in deep. [21:50] Camille would advise job searchers to keep trying. Trying new things, trying to learn, trying just one more job interview. Doors didn’t open immediately for her. [22:53] Camille used to be Marc’s neighbor. He has known her through unemployment, hard times, her BA certificate. He encouraged her to take a contract job. The first job they just hired her quickly over the phone. Camille likes the freedom of contracting. She won’t take six weeks off, but she might take a few weeks, and it won’t be a problem. [24:09] Marc says everybody in his online community wants freedom to choose how hard they work, where they work, and when they work. For many in the second half of life that becomes really important but it is not available with full-time employment. [24:34] Marc is really proud of Camille. She thanks him for all his help along the way. [25:10] Camille is a survivor and continues to pursue her dreams. She started her new job last week and this is just another step in the journey. [25:49] Marc explains how he will select the listener who will receive a copy of the audio version of Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for the 2nd Half of Life. [26:06] By the time this episode airs Marc will have the second cohort of 10 members for the online paid membership community. This is the only online community anywhere in the world for job seekers in the second half of life. Marc is now soliciting people for the third cohort.

Speaking of Partnership: Personal Stories of the Power and Payoffs of Partnership
Camille Sheppard-Parrish is a healthy love coach, relationship and dating expert and author of Successful Women Date Differently: Secrets to Attracting the Love You Deserve. She helps women overcome difficult emotional challenges that hold them back from attracting relationship-ready men. Camille’s mission is to provide a one-of-a-kind holistic coaching experience that will provide the necessary guidance to identity crippling blocks, unconscious behaviors, remove limiting beliefs, boost your self-esteem, own your happiness and shift your love vibration causing you to stop attracting and dating the wrong type of men. She provides women with the tools, strategies and techniques to attract and sustain the happy and healthy relationship that you deserve… with Mr. Right! Camille has earned her MBA and is currently conducting research for her dissertation in Organization and Management, Leadership for her PhD. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra We become what we believe that we are. It is so important to follow your purpose so you can serve in whatever capacity honors your true self. We have to write our future ourselves, and not depend on other people to push us into their story. When You Tripped Up Camille used to come into her romantic relationships with a wall that sometimes felt like a fort around her to protect herself. This caused her to put out a lot of masculine energy and not understand how to just be as a woman and embrace her femininity. She would show up trying to be better men than the men she was in relationship with. Here biggest trip up was not trusting and giving a man the opportunity to show up and be himself. The “DUH” moment that changed your partnerships forever One of Camille’s “Duh” moments was that she was recreating the events of her childhood over and over again in her relationships with men. She tried to understand and rationalize this pattern by seeing if there was a common denominator with these men. Did they come from the same city or have the same zodiac sign? What she found out was it was really her. She was unconsciously attracting the same type of men over and over again by not paying attention to her unconscious behaviors. Once she realized she was the common denominator. And that was tough for her to own as a successful and educated woman. Proudest moment in partnership When Camille is able to truly help someone it is when she is proudest. This can be teaching or providing the means for a person to get a meal or a bus fare or a kind word. This form of giving helps her really feel grateful about what she has and what she has to offer. Even if it is not that much more than the person she is helping. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? Be yourself in all relationships. And to be comfortable with the other person being them self. This allows a true, authentic friendship and relationship to grow. When you are just being yourself, being kind, being loving, being true and honest, this is what builds relationships and allows the partnership to grow and flourish. Best Partnership Book The Holy Scriptures. This is the root of what everyone is teaching regarding how to love and live and be peaceful to everyone. No matter who’s book you read, it ultimately comes from scripture. Payoff of Partnership Being herself and standing in a place of kindness and always being grateful has brought Camille the most benefits in all her relationships. Because Camille does this, when she is in need, she has others looking to support her and lift her up. Also, when she is going through something challenging she has the resilience to keep moving forward as a result of how she lives.
