-: Yeah, so apart from the obvious
of just working really hard
and leading by example is the best way.
People certainly notice
when you really care about something,
you're putting in the time
and you're available after hours,
that certainly makes a difference.
But being clear about your goals is something
that I find people don't do as often as they could.
So even just talking to your,
finding mentors as much as you can,
and even talking to your manager and just saying, hey,
here's where I wanna be in a year or two years.
What do I need to do to make this happen
if I wanna be in this position?
And they'll help you, right?
They want you to excel and move up in the company as well.
And so just having that idea
of what that path looks like
and talking earlier rather than later.
And regardless of whether this is a company,
or when I did a PhD,
I went up to my advisor and was like,
"I wanna graduate in three or four years.
"What do I need to do to graduate in that time?"
And was able to do it because from the outset,
I kind of had that path ahead of me.
So don't be afraid to be up front
about where you wanna be
and people will help guide you there.
