About this listen

A podcast from Job Point, designed to give those we serve the space to share their stories, ambitions, dreams and more. At Job Point, we help connect people throughout mid-Missouri with education and employment opportunities - but for all of us here at Job Point – the work we do is so much bigger than just helping someone find a job or continue their education so they can get a better job. We want to empower our neighbors to overcome the barriers they face, give them the tools to break out of the cycle of poverty, and live a life fulfilled. Because that’s the point - it’s about finding work you love that empowers you to live a life you love.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved. Economics Management Management & Leadership Social Sciences

  • Mary Hall on Choosing to be the Eagle
    Apr 4 2024

    Today, Liz Sensintaffar, Marketing Director of Job Point and occasional host of "What's the Point?" returns with a brand new interview with Mary Hall, Job Point Graduate, 2022 Award of Excellence Winner and current Board Member.

    Mary shares the captivating story of how she made the decision to flee from a bad situation in Illinois and start fresh in Columbia, Missouri. Her climb to the top hasn't always been easy, but by choosing to be the eagle, she has learned to let all of the crows and negatively fall away.

    Mary hopes that by sharing her story, she can encourage others who are struggling to break free from the walls that domestic abuse can create for survivors and help them find their own a-ha moment and the courage to move forward.
