Day of an EA in JHB | You Have More Say In Your Career Than You Think | Corporate Girl Diaries Ep. 4

Hey Friend ☀️ I had to learn the hard and long way that I actually have a say in how my career turns out. 🤍 In Episode 4 of Corporate Girl Diaries, I'm talking about something I feel strongly about — the fact that despite external pressures, other people's opinions, and the noise of comparison, you are not powerless in your own career. You have more agency than you've been told. I also talk about one of the most underrated career moves I know: intentionally surrounding yourself with and exposing yourself to the things that align with the life and career you're building toward. Because what you spend time around quietly shapes what you believe is possible for you. This one is personal. I hope it lands. ───────────────────────────────────── 📖 FREE RESOURCE: The Corporate Glossary 30 corporate phrases decoded — what they say and what they actually mean.
