Do you feel frustrated with the way you are perceived or labeled at work/at home/in life, when you know you contribute more and deserve to be recognized accordingly?

After moving from India to Dubai, Shruti Rustagi, was offered what she considered to be an amazing opportunity with Amazon though it was at a little lower level than she wanted. Her mindcluck kicked in right away being in a new place, a new industry, etc. She was beating herself up for any little mistake and was so unhappy she thought she needed to quit. She felt like a failure.

Shruti started doing “Morning Pages,” writing for 10 minutes eveyr morning to get out her thoughts and emotions. And in reading them, she realized she needed to give herself space to learn and to grow in this new position and new place.

Shruti was able to reframe her role in the company to accurately reflect what she was contributing, first by writing, and then by talking about it, and then by actually being that person in meetings. In just a year and a half, she went from being called a “senior financial analyst” with no direct reports to being the Finance Head for the entire MENA (Middle East North Africa) region with a full team.

Listen to her inspiring story and guidance to know your own awesomeness and be it!

What you’ll learn:
  • Morning Pages—how to get started and the benefits--recognize your own value.

  • Be the person you truly are—in whatever the context, whether at home or at work or socially, do things that enable you to truly be the valuable person you are.

  • Reflect that value you bring to others—once you start believing in the value you bring, reflect it in how you speak with others and how you work with them.

  • Recognize when you need help and get it—reaching out for help from a manager, a colleague, a friend, a coach, a therapist, etc. is a strength and will help you own your own awesomeness that much more easily.

  • And so much more!
