3 insights (and 1 tip on how you can apply them) from my 2nd month at Novo Nordisk, Denmark! Yup, two months gone already. Yikes :') 1. Stakeholder alignment: Nothing runs in isolation, so you need regular check-ins. How to apply? Make an active effort to stay in touch, regardless of project status. Everyone has a different definition of success, and it's your job to establish a common ground. 2. Take initiative: If you uncover an area of improvement or find a cool project, you act on it. How to apply? Be clear about what you want and enquire directly without hesitation. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. 3. Find your why: Aligning your projects with a purpose helps you endure rough patches. How to apply? Identify personal, business, and societal motivation factors. Basically, have a strong purpose statement. Excited to see how these values shape my growth in the next 6 months! P.S. Do you take initiative at work?

As someone who deeply values both professional fulfillment and societal impact, I find Sanofi's approach to career development particularly inspiring. The idea of making your passion your purpose resonates strongly with me, and Sanofi's new careers site seems like a powerful gateway to realizing that potential. Sanofi's emphasis on aligning one's passion with their professional endeavors is not just a motivational tagline—it's a call to action. The opportunity to work in a field where your efforts directly contribute to improving people's lives, supporting families, and uplifting communities is profoundly rewarding. It's about finding meaning in your work and knowing that each day you’re making a tangible difference. The phrase "chasing the miracles of science" captures the essence of what drives innovation at Sanofi. It's about being part of groundbreaking research and development that pushes the boundaries of what's possible in healthcare. This kind of environment is incredibly stimulating for anyone passionate about science and medicine. It's a place where curiosity meets purpose, and where professional growth goes hand-in-hand with making a positive impact. #SanofiStories #SanofiRecHub

What a way to wrap up three weeks of business travel throughout Europe! I met with many amazing internal and external partners, visited five countries, four of which were first-time visits, and I celebrated my one-year anniversary with MilliporeSigma (Merck Group). I even got to have a reunion with a special former partner, Dagmar Schubert over dinner as it was a very short detour. I've learned so much, I don't even know where to begin. It has been quite a year. Last year, when I made the decision to embark on a new adventure, I didn't know what to expect and the unknown frightened me but excited me at the same time. I wasn't sure if I could do as well at a larger organization (imposter syndrome) and I remained consistent in the following ways to prepare myself for my new endeavor: - Communication: I communicated the responsibilities and assignments I was looking for to utilize and develop my skill set, as well as to keep me on my career road map. Thankfully, my leadership listened and took action. - Curiosity: I was open to live feedback, new experiences, new learnings, and the challenges (known and unknown). Thankfully, my curiosity didn't kill me. - Conscious development: I came into my role and new company with a 30/60/90 day plan and a road map. Thankfully, it wasn't deemed "too soon" for me to have a plan. - Networking: To be successful, I knew I had to know who my people resources were. Thankfully, everyone was willing to share their time and expertise! - Impact: I sought to make an impact wherever I was. Thankfully, the impact was measurable and visible. - Leadership: I sought to lead from where I was. Thankfully, it didn't come off as "bossy." To top off my Euro tour and one-year anniversary, I was nominated and accepted into Merck's High Potential Employee 2024 Cohort. I'm excited to explore the learning and networking opportunities this program brings in the year ahead. Now, I look forward to going home and spending quality time with my husband, daughter, and four-legged babies.

Transitioning into corporate life after university can be scary and stressful. Admittedly, I had my worries. 🥴 But they quickly disappeared when I joined Novo Nordisk. This is what helped me: 1. The flexibility and encouragement from Novo Nordisk and management to prioritize work-life balance and mental health really makes the transition smooth 🚄 2. A work environment where your supervisor and colleagues trust you with challenging tasks and duties from the start 🚀 3. A culture based on openness and curiosity, where everyone is willing to help, and where no question is too small ✋🏽 These valuable insights and others have made the change and every day at Novo Nordisk a great and special experience.

In any enterprise, employees are always the primary productive force. How to make employees work happily and efficiently is the responsibility and mission of every enterprise

Such an inspiring story from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany 👇 on several levels: * "Business Growth cannot be separated from People Growth" * how an enterprise-wide Skill initiative unearthed disparate initiatives going on across the org * how upskilling encouraged an employee to Stand Up and Step Forward! 💕

Interesting career lessons from Dave Ricks, Eli Lilly and Company Lilly and Company CEO Hardwired capabilities (aka. soft skills) are more important than industry knowledge and experience. Ricks is an example of a non scientist excelling in a scientific company based on some great qualities: bias for speed and sense of urgency, managerial courage, ability to work with people.

In case you didn't notice, we've made it through the first 100+ days of 2024. This visual is a good reminder to myself on the road ahead. ✨ We are often so consumed by "what's next" we fail to appreciate just how far we've come. 🚶♀️🏃♀️ The journey is made more beautiful with the people who join you on it. I can't help but acknowledge what a privilege it is to work alongside colleagues in Roche Diagnostics Asia Pacific. Work done by our incredible teams in Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, China, Malaysia, Thailand, India, has resulted in Roche Diagnostics winning not one but three awards at the recent PRCA APAC event for Freedom to Be #Everywoman And, congratulations to all the other winners: https://lnkd.in/gfUv9nzS  💡 Check-in with yourself: The future of work requires us to be willing to let go of the old ways of doing things. If the pace will always be relentless isn't it time to prioritise our workload by asking: what brings value to me? to my team? to the organisation? And then committing to the pursuit of these value drivers
