That’s what Debra Bednar-Clark, CEO and founder of career and leadership coaching firm DB+co. Former global head of strategy and growth at Facebook said she wishes she could have told her younger self. I looked to my colleagues and managers and those in senior leadership roles to understand how I should look and act so I could earn respect and fit in, but I learned that no ones are going to be better at being you than you, she told Business Insider about the early years of her career.
Key Takeaways:
- I looked to my colleagues and managers and those in senior leadership roles to understand how I should look and act so I could earn respect and fit in.
- They knew how to know who they are and I think that’s the advantage that allowed them to stand out.
- Fundamentally knowing who you are, believing in yourself, and showing it to the world is the key to not only unlocking your greatest asset.
“You are your greatest asset.”
