Join me for the career reflections of Richa Singh, consultant for family-owned businesses. Born and raised in India her dreams as a young girl are to be a pirate -- eye patch and all! She’s fascinated with the idea of being a rebel and traveling the world.
As she approaches college, she gets more serious choosing engineering because of her aptitude in math. After graduation jobs are scarce due to a recession prompting her to go back to school for an MBA. This is where she finds her true calling -- organizational behavior and change management!
Cultural norms cause her to quit a dream job after getting married. Unfortunately, the marriage doesn’t work, leaving her without a job, feeling depressed and stuck. She wrestles up just enough energy to apply for a part-time teaching job, where she starts gaining confidence, pulling her out of her funk and setting her on a course of successes that ultimately lead to where she is today!
What’s served Richa best: "Hard work. Being humble saying I don’t know. Willingness to learn and then applying what I learn.”
Her words of wisdom when feeling stuck or in a crisis: “What is actionable – what can you do now? You can cry later, but right now what is the first step you can take?"
