I absolutely loved this chat with Diana, and here are some gems she shared with us:

  • Be where you are in the moment. Learn as much as you can from the role you are in.
  • Create your own luck, be open to opportunities.
  • Look towards the future, be present in the moment.
  • Recognize when you are being called towards something.
  • Network.
  • Ask for informational interviews.
  • Volunteer.
  • See what things are like.
  • Tailor your resume.
  • Say yes. Take career inventories. Personality tests. Assessments. Everything you do will bring you closer to your goal. Do the work – it will be worth it.

Remember, it’s all about figuring out your purpose, planning your life around that, and being able to pivot when you need to.

It’s also about surrounding yourself with fantastic people!

Please say hi at [email protected] – I would love to hear from you!

Thanks so much for spending your time with me on the playground!
