It’s my birthday!
And as I celebrate getting older and wiser, I want to share the top lessons I’ve learned in becoming a corporate leader.
On this episode of Career Confessions, I discuss how my desire to fit in as an immigrant kid translated to my 9-to-5 and why people pleasing is detrimental to your career growth.
I explain why I frame my goals as if I’m training to win the Olympics, challenging you to achieve your vision without leaving behind the people you love in the process.
Listen in for insight on my struggle with mom guilt and learn how to set clear boundaries around what you will and will not accept at work—and get support when those non-negotiables are violated.
