This comment right here is everything. Okay, so this is exactly how I went from an individual contributor to a vice president in five years after I switched to the tech industry. So I went from a program manager to a global manager, to a director, to a senior director, to a vice president in five years. And the thing that I changed is that I stopped focusing on my deficits, my gaps, and all the skills that I needed to acquire or the things that I needed to fix. Instead, I focused on my strengths, the value that I brought to an organization, making sure that senior leadership team members knew the impact that I was having on the organization that changed everything for me.
