This Senior Vice President Broke Through The Black Ceiling At Just 32 Years Old
Here are her tips on how to climb the corporate ladder and break the black ceiling:
Your most ferocious competition is yourself: You always lose by comparing yourself with others and chasing their version of success. Become better versions of yourself each year, keep the bar high and youll be successful.
Keep it real with thyself: No matter the level of success or the lure of advancement, dont take the easy route. surround yourself with the people who love you and know you best and can bring you back to earth if you ever get too far way.
Disrupt the status quo: Ive never been one to thrive on being too comfortable. I love to seize new challenges to learn new things and break my brain. I want to always be intellectually curious. I crave being sharpened and want to be a sponge. Working with different people, asking lots of questions, copious reading, taking on stretch projects and aspiring to be greater have always challenged me.
