Best Of: 9 Years, 4 Roles, 1 Promotion: A Finance Leader's Job Share Story
Episode 64
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026

📣 Jobshare Revolution is getting a Glow Up! While we build fresh new episodes, enjoy our Best Of series — hand-picked mindset, lesson, and interview episodes with a new intro, chosen to help you implement your job share sooner. Stay tuned!Finance leader Liz Stapleton Zerella's moxie landed her a rare senior job share arrangement at Clorox with partner Michelle Shalauta.What the duo did next is remarkable. If you're wondering if job sharing will negatively impact your career progression, not only does research prove the opposite—According to The Job Share Project, over 70% of job share teams who apply are promoted together—but Liz and her job share partner Michelle successfully navigated a nine-year partnership in four roles while also winning promotion as a job share. As if that weren't impressive enough, they worked in a predominantly male division of Clorox in finance where job sharing was unheard of. So friend, take that to heart. Both are possible for you too. 🫶We had this phone meeting before this podcast was even a thing, and I think you'll find our conversation unique and special—like being a fly on the wall for two former job sharers who’ve finally connected as part of a secret society of job sharers to dish on what it was really like. I hope you enjoy it!
