Building Credibility & Launching Initiatives: What I Learned Starting from the Ground Up

About this session

As an Asian American woman in Research and Engineering, I know it can be both exciting and challenging to navigate the corporate workplace. I have had the pleasure of working with many amazing leaders and I have learned a lot from them. I experimented with a lot of different techniques and regularly reflected on myself. In this process, I learned how to stay true to myself and bring my vision and values to my everyday work.

During this chat, we will cover:

  • Create a success plan for your current role and a gap plan for your next role
  • Take an initiative and pitch an idea
  • Build credibility and get invited to take part in important initiatives
