The most impactful thing that I learned from our studies this week was from the Magdalena Yesil Case Study.
Yesil defines "entrepreneur". She has reinvented herself time and again, finding passion in different things, and each time refining her search for what would fulfill her professionally.
When I apply this to my life, I realize that I have been fortunate with my career, and if I were to look at the diversity of my roles, you could mistake me for "reinventing" myself:
1977- 1985 Financial Advisor
1985- 1988 Technical Trainer
1988- 1992 Leadership Trainer
1992-1996 Development Centre Manager
1996-1998 Operations Manager
1998 -2005 HR Generalist
2006 -2015 Global HR Business Partner
It looks like a varied career, and it really is. But I have never felt like any part of it was really planned. Rather I have felt like I have fortunately stumbled through my career. Now, as I consider my next steps, it is the first time in my whole career that I feel as though I am in control of the last few years of my career!
