Take Control of Your Career

Melody Zhang - Working in Non-Native Cultures

Episode Notes

In this episode Lauren and Melody discuss:

• Struggling through challenges in confidence and aspirations
• Receiving negative feedback and using it to improve yourself
• Tips for people working in a non-native culture 
• Internalizing wins to help your own growth and building the strength of your team

Key Takeaways:

• Your ultimate aspiration will not be easily handed to you, focusing on career growth and levelling up will guide you. 
• Feedback, especially the negative ones, informs you what skills you can improve or learn to become more successful in your field. 
• Take initiative. Be honest about what you know about where you are and be humble enough to receive help. Practice vulnerability. 
• A strong team will beat a lone superstar in growth, progression and success. 

“You can only be as good as your team. You cannot be the only superstar in your team… only if you have a very strong team team - that actually will generate a platform for you to continue progressing” - Melody Zhang
