Take Control of Your Career

Monica Cole - Driving Success for Generations

Episode Notes

 Monica Cole is EVP at Wells Fargo and a change agent for diversity and inclusion.

In this episode Lauren and Monica discuss:

•  Building your career through having a passion for learning 
•  Tips for excelling in your career even if you’re trying something new. 
•  What it takes to be successful even when you don’t fit the typical profile.
•  How to give feedback and how to receive it with grace

Key Takeaways:

• Where can I add the most value, how can I broaden my skill set, and how can I constantly learn and grow?
• Be comfortable with what you know but always be willing to learn from others. 
• Bring this with you anywhere and you’ll succeed: hard work, willingness to take extra effort, willingness to work together inclusively.
• Build relationships. Make the people who work with you know who you are as an individual. 
• Win together: don’t only think about making yourself better, but the person that’s coming behind you better as well.

“I can be great but when I walk outside of that door and go hopefully to retirement, if the people behind me aren’t better, then I do think I failed in some perspective. I don’t want to be a part of that failure, I want to be part of driving success for generations.” - Monica Cole
