This paper contains the text of the Leona Tyler Award address given by the author in San Francisco in August 2018. The author reviews her career, tracing the three strands that have influenced her work: Cultural context, counseling psychology, and the study of work. These three strands are presented individually, then brought together in the metaphor of a braid to symbolize the way in which the three strands intertwine throughout her career. The author concludes by suggesting implications for future directions. This presentation has been edited for clarity in its written format.
