Own Your Career

Recently I attended a networking lunch with multiple company executives and they were sharing their experience with personal branding and career development. Below are some of the insights that I thought were worth sharing.

“Make sure that your personal brand does not come at the expense of the team”

“Define how you are valuable and then live it out; your brand should speak for itself.”

“Fight for what you believe is right but listen as if you are wrong”

“Don’t become complacent, learn to do things differently and to do different things”

“Develop a mentoring network that will be honest and hold up a mirror to you”

“Worry less about yourself and more about people”

“Don’t wait on someone to provide you opportunities for advancement, ask for the job.”

“Only you can chart your career path, take control early and own it.”

“Do something uncomfortable”

What tips can you provide on career development?
