Fear is a reaction.  Courage is a decision...

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting an Executive Panel for the Q1 Women Managers Cohort.
 
As I took notes, there was golden nugget upon golden nugget.
 
One of my favorites, for those of us who run into fear and anxiety from time to time, is from Erin Rapallini: Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.
 
The panel participants, all experienced executives, shared with vulnerability and candor, both the successes they enjoyed and the challenges they overcame from the beginning of their careers to where they are today.  Here are some highlights and good reminders:
 
Go after what you want
  • If you really want something, give it your all.
  • Ask for what you want. Then be ready when you get it.
  • Slow down and reflect. Enjoy the moments along the way.
 Keep Learning
  • Tiny things add up.
  • Take advantage of training and tuition reimbursement your organization offers.
Lean on Others
  • Use your network to help you find new jobs and take on bigger roles.
  • Use women’s groups to give you a boost to your next thing.
  • Go to the person who has the job you want and ask them how they got there.
 A big thank you to Cristen Purdy, Location President, Choice Bank; Diane Cross, CEO Fraser; and Erin Rappalini, Sr. Director, Medtronic for sharing their experiences with the group.
 
The Women Managers Leadership Development Cohort is a uniquely powerful opportunity to learn and grow with amazing women facing similar challenges on their way to the next steps in their career.
