Breaking Barriers: Career Strategies for Women

Work significantly impacts your quality of life. If you're unhappy at work, you aren't likely to be happy, period. Since Paula's work all boils down to teaching people how to make conscious creation work for them, she brought a career expert on the show to offer a wide range of advice for women who want to advance in the workplace. 

Today's guest is Jennifer Swope, a third-generation owner and Chief Operating Officer of the Swope Family of Dealerships. The Swope family has owned and operated the auto group since opening its first location in Elizabethtown, KY, in 1952. In 2022, Jennifer was named one of Automotive News' 40 Under 40 for her outstanding leadership and significant business achievements. She prides herself on leading by always putting people first and embraces the Swope RITE way of operating with respect, integrity, trust, and enthusiasm. 

Since returning home to Central Kentucky and joining the family business, Jennifer has renewed her commitment to the growth of her community. She currently serves as chairwoman of the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College Foundation Board and on the boards of the Knox Regional Development Alliance and the Elizabethtown Hardin County Industrial Foundation. She strives to make an impact on the industry by serving on the Kentucky Auto Dealers Association board and the Hyundai Regional Dealer Council.
