Break down your own barriers!
Two months ago, when I joined GoWide Solutions, there was a flurry of excitement among my friends and social media, congratulatory messages were pouring in as I took a challenging step in my career. To join back, I was too sceptical if I would be able to continue my journey as a woman who stepped into the industry after 14 years long career break. I would like to share a few things that worked for me. I hope this inspires you too!
⚫ Don’t be afraid to voice your ambition:
When I joined GoWide Solutions , as a Business growth Specialist and Marketing Manager, I shared my aspirations of seeing myself become a part of their strong team . Initially, I thought I was being presumptuous but then I asked myself, ‘What would someone else do in my position?’ and I felt that he would not hesitate to say so and perhaps say it very assertively.
⚫ Your family is your biggest support system:
Talk to them, have them participate in job decisions, career moves. I remember seeking help from my mom and husband, even talking to my children about how they felt about me working and whether they were ok if I couldn’t go to every parent teacher meeting. The answer I got from them as they became older was ‘Mom, we’re very proud of what you are doing !
⚫ Aim for butterflies-in-the-stomach kind of goals:
Aim high, set lofty goals, and you ll end up surprising yourself and others.
So, what are your learnings?
I would love to hear about your journey and learnings along the way!
Thanks #GoWide Solutions (Former HybrisWorld)
We couldn't be more excited to have Simona on our HR team! WELCOME!!!! ❤️
