Janeen Uzzell: Surrendered to Christ in My Calling

“I am doing my best to remain surrendered to the plan that God has for me.” — Janeen Uzell

Listen in on our interview with engineer and business leader Janeen Uzzell in this special edition podcast from our Dear Mentor LIVE series.

Our Dear Mentor column has been a popular place for readers to ask about issues and challenges they encounter. We recently hosted a three-part series entitled Dear Mentor — LIVE (MBA Edition) where we hosted live conversations with women leaders. Janeen Uzzell is a gifted leader who loves and follows Jesus. She’s been a popular speaker and panelist at the annual Believers in Business Conference and in the business track at Urbana. We are grateful for her perspective, wisdom, and guidance given in this conversation.

— Karen Hice Guzmán

You can listen on iTunes, Spotify, or at All Shall Be Well: Conversations with Women in the Academy and Beyond. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
