Let’s advance together in 2024! Today, we chat about lifting others to get ahead collectively with Cindy Tran, Managing Director at Slalom, a global business and technology consulting company.
As an Asian American, Cindy talks about how she was raised to be empathetic with everyone and how it’s helped her advance in her career.
“That general commitment to adding value and helping others succeed,” says Cindy. “It makes other people want to help you.”
Tune in for how empathy can take you (and others!) far in the workplace. “It’s much more powerful to have others lift you up than for you to get there by yourself,” says Cindy.
