A pleasure to be part of theWomen in Derivatives (WIND)and Bank of America event to celebrate #womenshistorymonthon elevating your influence.Thanks toKaren Wares for moderating a rich and insightful discussion and great to be on a panel with the fabulousMeg McClellan and Rashaan Reid.
The lessons included:
- Don't ignore the body whispers.
Your body is speaking to you all the time if you tune in and listen. - Make time for regular self-reflection.
Be clear on who you are and what ‘really’ matters to you. Your motivations and drivers will change over time, as will your success measures. - Goals are a place to come from not a place to get to.
Under every big step are little ladders. What are the mindsets, behaviours and accomplishments which will help you to get there? - Make your ambitions overt, not covert.
- Be authentic.
It consumes valuable energy being somebody you are not. - Build relationships before you need them.
We are in a people business. - Know what you do know and know what you don't.
Bridge your knowledge gaps. - Trying to do it all will minimise your impact.
As you ascend the career ladder, give thought to what you need to let go of. - It's not about who you know, it's who knows you.
- Change is messy in the middle.
Be comfortable with the discomfort, as you put yourself forward for new and bigger opportunities.
