I create and implement talent strategy
No day is typical as I enjoy much variety in my work. I usually spend time independently drafting content related to the projects I'm working on and the remainder virtually meeting with colleagues from across the country. The nature of my work can range from standing up a new operational process, overseeing learning events, teaching a class, or developing a creative concept for an inspirational video.
Here's the first step for everyone
Adopt the right mindset. Be intensely curious and strive to excel where you are. Show up to everything like it's exactly where you want to be. It's easy to put in less than your best effort because you feel uninspired, while planning to step it up when you finally get to your 'dream' career. But a strong work ethic now is a skill that will open doors for you later. Even better, it can be developed. Show up today and you will be the one they want to show up tomorrow.
