Understanding yourself and knowing who you are is the biggest advice I always give to people. Don’t try to become someone other than yourselves. Understand who you are, what you’re good at, and then build your career.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help and seek advice. It’s not a sign of weakness to do that. You also need to build networks because that is how people get ahead or get jobs. So don’t be afraid to ask for help to build those networks.
Lastly, don’t stop learning. If you can do all I’ve stated, I have no doubt that you will be a C level executive and many of us will be working for you.
At the Collision 2020 press conference, we had the pleasure to interview Melissa Selcher, The Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at LinkedIn.
