🙋🏾♀️ In 2011, I was hired into my first junior role in tech @Groupon
👩🏾💻 By 2020, I was headhunted into a VP role in a global tech company @Brandwatch
🤖 I achieved this progression in less than a decade, without ANY coding skills
🔮 How did I do it?
*a thread*
🤓 I established a track record of results.
💪🏾 No magic formula can replace hard work: do your job well & hit all the targets you are set.
😬 When you're struggling, ask for help so you can stay on track to get results, or collaboratively adjust targets.
🎨 I stayed creative.
🧙🏿♀️ When challenges arose I was bold enough to try new solutions. Not everything worked, but constantly trying produced valuable innovations.
🧠 I was proactive in finding new, better ways to get the job done.
🤩 I was a self-promoter. I recorded my achievements & ensured they were mentioned in any performance / compensation reviews.
😎 I put myself forward for any opportunities to gain recognition e.g. speaking opportunities or awards.
👀I actively worked on gaining visibility.
🙂 I was myself. Some say you need to be ruthless to succeed. I don't buy it. I'm a nice person so I'm nice at work, too.
❤️ I didn't fake it. I always acted on my values, and spoke up when something didn't feel right. I showed integrity.
🤗 I was a team player. To everyone.
