Advice for HR professionals

  • Reflect on what you want your career trajectory to look like. Have a plan but keep your mind open to different possibilities.
  • Ask for opportunities—if you don't ask, you most likely won't get. Whether it's feedback, support, or incentives, always ask.
  • Don't fear saying 'I don't know' but always be curious to learn what you don't know. Keep learning as your motto.
  • Find a good mentor who supports you and understands your journey and potential. They may help you see things from unique perspectives and discover new capabilities.
