Leveraging the power of connections, one cup of coffee at a time! Join me in a slightly caffeinated conversation about networking. If you were ever unsure about how to network and why networking will be a game-changer for your career - let me tell you. From LinkedIn to coffee chats to gaining industry insights and knowledge, in this episode, I talk about the benefits, different approaches, actionable tips for successful networking, and share personal anecdotes from my recent networking event experience where discomfort was quickly replaced with champagne.

In this week's episode, we dive into the topics of passion projects, side hustles, and toxic hustle culture, often glorified on social media. While I advocate for the fulfillment found in creative outlets, the toxicity of hustle culture often leaves you feeling not 'enough' when doing something simply because you enjoy it. Should productivity alone really be the goal in everything we do? Sharing my own experiences, I want to stress the significance of joy, the need for creative outlets, and the importance of having space for balance in our lives.

My personal recommendation to you: You don’t always have to be productive; be creative!

From navigating the chaos to challenging expectations and finding learnings in unexpected situations. In this first episode of this career talk series, I share my experience of the initial stage of starting your professional career after graduating. While I have found a lot of joy in growth and new experiences I also talking about the challenges and recurring frustrations I have come across.

Most important reminder: Embrace the process because just 5 years from now you could find yourself at a point you haven't even dared to imagine today!
