As the Global Ambassador for Style My Soul, I'm grateful to welcome Maria Shriver's insights. “What is the Best Piece of Career Advice You’ve Received?” Today’s career guidance is shared by Emmy and Peabody Award-Winning Journalist Maria Shriver. “Right after college, I wanted to head to New York City to jumpstart my career in journalism. But Barbara Walters said I should ‘go local.’ She told me it was better to start in a smaller market and work my way up, as doing so would create a more sustainable career path. So, I did. I started as an assistant at a station close to my hometown. I got coffee, logged tapes, and ran audio. And eventually, I worked my way up to writer, producer, and anchor.
Seeking opportunities in the minor leagues allowed me to make mistakes and learn from them without worrying that my career would be over before it even began. It also helped me figure out what I like doing regarding news broadcasting and what I don’t like — which, I always tell my kids, is just as crucial because figuring out precisely what you truly want to do takes time, trial, and error.” Meet Maria Shriver Maria Shriver is a mother of four, an Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist, a seven-time New York Times bestselling author, an NBC News special anchor, and founder of the nonprofit The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement and the new brain wellness company Mosh Life. Always curious about the world, Maria has devoted her life to reporting and interviewing some of the biggest changemakers of our time. In addition to her work for NBC News, she is also the founder of Shriver Media, which produces award-winning documentaries and films, bestselling books, a popular podcast, and a beloved popular weekly email newsletter called “The Sunday Paper.” Her latest book, I’ve Been Thinking …, and its companion, I’ve Been Thinking … The Journal, were written to offer wisdom, guidance, and inspiration to those seeking to create a meaningful life.
