Never chase a title or money. Instead, let the work lead you. Do what you love and what leverages and develops your strengths. The surprising thing is that titles and money will usually follow.
As part of my series about “individuals and organizations making an important social impact”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Tonya Cornileus with Disney Aspire.
Tonya Cornileus, Ph.D is the senior vice president, learning and talent solutions for The Walt Disney Company where she serves as an integral member of the enterprise Human Resources senior leadership team. Tonya, with 14 years of experience Disney, is responsible for learning and leadership development, talent and succession management, performance management, and career development.
One program Tonya’s team manages is Disney Aspire, The Walt Disney Company’s education investment and career development program which allows hourly employees to return to school with 100% of tuition paid upfront at a network of learning providers, from high school to master’s degrees.
