Take a minute- open a new tab and go to www.pexels.com and search for ‘career woman,’ and tell me what you find.

This is what I did first in responding to this question, ‘what is your career plan?’

We are in May 2025- and we have seven months to the end of the year and rather than a long-term stretch of where I want to be, I truly want to share projects that I am working on:

1. Professional studies- a course on Organizational Leadership by Northwestern University
2. Building a high performing team at my current workplace-this is in line with my desire for growth into more challenging roles in the next two years. Two roles to be specific.
3. Writing a book
4. Eating healthy- this is a health project, something that recent medical condition change calls for and it means focusing more on plant-based diet.
5. Developing a robust Emergency Fund

And if you were to ask me what my career plans were in 2020-they were not as I have shared, but over time I learned that there are diverse pursuits that I can aspire to, not just one area of specialization.
