In my transition from site engineering to product operations within strategy & business excellence, I encountered a significant shift in team dynamics.

Leading a team with diverse backgrounds and a focus on long-term strategy meant I had to rethink how I approached leadership and transition from a fast-paced setting to a more thoughtful, strategic one.

Welcoming the team's diverse perspectives and longer project timelines, I adjusted my communication pace and decision-making approach. This allowed me to embrace the criticality of our decisions and the need for alignment with organizational goals so that I could build an environment where team members could openly express their views and concerns.

This experience not only expanded my leadership skills but also ensured that our ambitious goals, which were highly visible, were achieved through the team's full support. With my background in engineering and project management, coupled with this transformative leadership journey, I am now better equipped to drive success in diverse and ever-changing team settings.

To foster a positive work culture, I prioritize self-reflection, seeking feedback, and implementing continuous improvements. Understanding the impact of my actions on others and building trust to invite feedback is crucial.

I am a naturally reflective person and carve out time each day to reflect on my actions to ensure they are in line with my core values and fostering a positive work culture.

Mentoring has always been a significant aspect of my career, and I firmly believe that it is a two-way street. I have been fortunate to have had numerous mentors who have not only influenced my professional journey but also shaped how I show up each day.

I have learned that fostering a positive work culture involves recognizing that every voice holds value and can make a meaningful impact at any given moment.
