Our Women's Leadership Network Woman of the Month for April is Emily Smith of Intel Corporation! Q. What was your job title at your very first place of employment? A. I was 12 years old when I started working on the greenhouse in my community. The school bus dropped me off after school where I would work in the greenhouse for a few hours before walking home on the railroad tracks. Q. What aspects of your current role or organization do you find most fulfilling? A. When Intel announced plans to build in Ohio, I was so excited for the future of my state and how this historic investment would bring growth, prosperity and opportunity for generations of Ohioans. I grew up in a very small rural community and my first vehicle was a John Deere. I spent many years raising sheep for 4-H and earning badges for Girl Scouts. My summers at camp fostered my deep respect and gratitude for the environment and I carried this love with me to Ohio State where I completed my undergraduate degree in Natural Resources. I’m proud to be a woman with the STEM degree, working on the largest economic investment in my state’s history. Working across the state to ensure our fellow Ohioans feel the economic benefits of this project has been the honor of my lifetime. Q. What is the most valuable career guidance you have ever been given? A. It's better to be impressed than to try to be impressive. Q. How do you rejuvenate yourself? A. Reading is my favorite thing to do. Libraries are my favorite spot followed by bookstores. Q. Summarize yourself in a single word? A. Energizer Q. In your view, what is the quintessential trait of an effective leader? A. Find the potential of each team member, clear a path for them and then cast the spotlight on them so they can shine. Q. Do you have a favorite quote or saying that inspires you? A. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt Q. What counsel would you offer to your younger self? A. Dear Little Me, You took on so much that was not yours to carry. It won't always be this hard. Hang in there; it will get easier. Love, Me Q. Can you share an insight or skill you've acquired in the last year? A. Over the past year as I've traveled the state - to the big cities and to the small towns - I've seen optimism, I've seen excitement and I've seen uncertainly around the economic growth that will be coming with the arrival of the semiconductor industry. It's been remarkable to see Ohio's resiliency and focus. After all, it is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.
