For many women of color, empathy is part of their culture. That’s a good thing because it can take you far in your career. 🚀
In Episode 89, @cindytutran shares how growing up in a big Asian family taught her to care and help others however she could. Cindy brought this same empathy to the workplace and it has helped her climb the ladder over the last 12 years to become Managing Director at @slalomconsulting, a global business and technology consulting company.
Success as a collective group means you don’t have to do it alone. “It’s actually much more powerful to have other people lift you up than for you to get there by yourself,” says Cindy. 💪🏽

Here are 2 things @courtneymcopelin recommends:
1. Get clear on your values. They will be your guiding light.💡
2. Ask the tough questions AND receive the tough questions from other women doing what you want to be doing!🙋🏽♀️
Knowing what you want takes time. But more importantly, it takes the ability to access your community in the process.
You got this!🥰
