"Sometimes YOU are the politics".   🎇 As I sat among a handful of women brought together by Oaktree FSG for an evening talk about financial empowerment, I found myself immersed in relatable and often hilarious anecdotes, wisdom that had, with time, been smoothened into a form of art, and chatter that resonated with me.   🎁 The first lesson shared that stood out for me was the importance of defining your value beyond the constraints a job title. It's not just about what we do, but about the unique contributions we bring to the table, both hard and soft.     🤔 Prioritization cut across all the panel discussions. We need to learn to pick our battles wisely, both professionally and personally. To help filter everything life throws at us, we should set boundaries. And setting boundaries isn't about building walls - it's about creating a door to manage your entry and exit. This door is critical in preserving our mental and emotional well-being. As Randi Zuckerberg beautifully puts in her book - you can have it all, just not on the same day. So pick three! And focus on them.   🤜 Resilience emerged a cornerstone of personal growth. When navigating the twists and turns of our careers, we must remain steadfast in our resolve - avoidance should never be our natural port of call.   🔙 And, amidst the hustle and bustle of our lives, it's essential not to lose sight of our personal agency. We must continuously improve how we strike that delicate balance between emotions and facts, approaching every conversation with the clarity of a princess cut diamond.   Only when we are whole can we truly give our all, both in our careers and in our personal lives.

It's Pride Month and a time for us to all think about what we can do to help our colleagues feel included and heard. In this article, author Lore Perkins shares three things that their organization and allies did to make them feel safe bringing their full self to work. #questionassumptions #beanally #pride2024 https://lnkd.in/gxMzVku7

Being laid off twice in fifteen months wasn't on my bingo card, and yet, that's the way the things have played out. Yesterday, myself and 25% of SunPower Solar's workforce were impacted by a reduction in force due to the winding down of their residential home solar installation business, of which I have been supporting operations for the previous twelve months. My heart breaks for my friends and colleagues that were impacted, as the uncertainty that bloomed in our lives yesterday is REAL and there is no way around a lay-off than through it. So where do we look for faith? That it will work out - because it has to, right? The past three years, I have found hope and solid ground within my garden. 90% of what happens there starts from a single seed, sown in dark, damp soil, with only the promise of light and water and daily attention to get to a fruitful harvest. So I offer this to anyone impacted by a lay-off: plant your seeds. Plant them in your network and in your window sill. Believe that you can again grow something from nothing. Every day, come back to them and yourself, and say that you can do this. Because you can, because you will. Friends, colleagues, mentors, if you've read this far, thank you. If you're hiring or know someone who is, I'd love the opportunity to chat. I'm organized, energetic, analytical and a direct communicator; I am a hardy, unique varietal searching for new soil.
