Mark Wareham, Senior Consultant, was delighted to attend the CREFC Women’s Network event “Navigating Your Career: How to Take Charge of Your Own Career” as a panellist.
Mark, alongside Natalie Gill, Head of DEI Strategy & Industry Engagement at PGIM, and Niki Webster, Director of Recruitment at PBR Real Estate, discussed a number of issues influencing women’s abilities to advance their own careers, including how and why to plan your career, the pros and cons of moving internally or externally and how women can secure promotions or pay rises.
Some key quotes from the day:
- “No matter where you are in your career journey don’t stop navigating, don’t stop owning, don’t stop thinking about your career.”
- “Think about your personal brand – how do you want people to remember you when you’re not in the room.”
- “Climbing the ladder is not the only career option, think in terms of lattice as well. Ladder and lattice are intertwined.”
Thanks to the CREFC Women’s Network and Dechert for hosting the event.
