CHAPTER 33

Many of us are taught that there’s only one way to succeed in corporate America: climb the ladder to the top, step by step. However, what if we told you that moving companies, trying a variety of lateral roles, and taking risks might actually help you reach the top more quickly? 

Today we’re chatting with Ravi Hampole, the SVP of Global Brand Creative at Lululemon Athletica. Reflecting on his 20+ years of experience in the brand and design industry, Ravi values curiosity in the workplace and advocates for trying new things throughout your career before settling down with one company. Tune into our conversation as we chat about how lateral movement at the start of your career can actually propel you to move upward faster, among other tips like:

⚡️How to react to negative feedback in the workplace

⚡️Why you should be bold and step out of your comfort zone

⚡️Discerning when it’s time for a career shift 

⚡️The power of networking (how Ravi literally got his job at Lululemon)

⚡️Why change is actually good for you
