Time flies when you’re having fun! I’m celebrating 2 years at Publicis Groupe UK this week, so here are some of my reflections from my time here so far.
1️⃣ You can do it - Let’s be real, starting a new job is scary. All of the self doubt creeps in and you start to think, can I actually do this job? As with most things in life, the internal stress and worry is always 100x worse and the reality more often than not is positive. But for anyone suffering with self doubt, back yourself. You can do it.
2️⃣ The people are what make it - Working in the talent space, I’m lucky to meet hundreds of people on the job hunt, or at early stages in their careers. I’m constantly amazed with their knowledge, passion and curiosity. People are one of my main motivators, so seeing a candidate land a job, seeing our interns make waves in their agencies, and seeing our apprentices grow in confidence gives me enormous pride. All of this though is only possible because of the incredible early careers team of Laura Boyle, Steffi Ballmann, Harvey R. and Bethany Ward that I am so fortunate to be part of. And of course the wider talent team at Publicis Groupe UK all of who I learn so much from every day.
3️⃣ Healthy challenges - I operate at my best just out of my comfort zone. Healthy challenges get the best out of me and learning this over the last two years has really helped me to learn and develop further and faster than ever before. If I’m out of my comfort zone, I’m learning.
4️⃣ Never compromise on what you believe in - My values are my drivers. This means sometimes I need to ask uncomfortable questions, challenge things and stand up for what I think is right. This can be hard but it means at the end of each day and week I can say I’ve given my all to everything.
5️⃣ Refresh and recharge to be able to go again - I used to work at 100% for 100% of the time, and guess what, it burnt me out. Taking regular leave once a quarter has really helped me to be able to keep motivated, and have the energy to keep pushing through each quarter
🙏 Thanks to everyone who I’ve had the pleasure of working with at Publicis Groupe UK in the last two years, and here’s to everything that lies ahead. If the last two years are anything to go by, 2024 will be another big year!
