#228 Lessons in Reinvention from a One-Woman Powerhouse (Rochelle Udell)

“I think over time, I've learned an awful lot about myself, and knowing more about myself has led me to the point of being a [better] participant in the world,” says Rochelle Udell, whose career highlights have included artistic art director of Ms. magazine, art director of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, president and creative director of Calvin Klein's CRK advertising agencies, and editor-in-chief of Self magazine – just to name a few. In this revealing conversation with CoveyClub founder, Lesley Jane Seymour, Udell explores the challenges of her exemplary career, how she dealt with changes and fears, and ultimately how she worked to develop her memoir, "Adventures of the Baker's Daughter", for an online format. Listen in to learn her invaluable insights on making yourself heard, presenting your passion projects to the world, and what it takes to adapt to an ever-changing business landscape.

About Rochelle:

There’s no Ivy League school on my resume. No money. No drop-dead beauty. No pedigree. I’m not intimidating. But I was born into a family of hardworking people, and I’m a good listener and observer. And in some ways, all the things I’m not gave me the strength and permission to accomplish what I have. To describe how I feel about work, I often quote Kahlil Gibran: “Work is love made visible.” I am married to book designer Doug Turshen and live in Westchester. we have two remarkable children, Doug and Julia, two brilliant daughters-in-law, and one awesome granddaughter—all of whom I love more than work.
