Like most of us, Kate Robinette came to AEC through a circuitous route. But hers was an intentional path, made by consciously placing stones to learn her strengths, educate herself, fill holes, and gain advocates. Deirdre and Kate talk about being different, bringing strengths to a conscious level, and dragons in this humorous and deep dive conversation.

Kate’s top 5 tips to grow your career:

  • Know your strengths and get use to talking about what you do best and how you bring value.
  • Look for things you want to do and find ways to make that happen.
  • Ask lots of questions and ask for help.
  • Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. (Change happens outside your comfort zone.)
  • Do informational interviews.
