1. What am I good at?
I am a very positive person and am good at bringing this outlook into the workplace which commonly rubs off on my peers. In addition to that, I am also good at working with diverse groups of people. I am am open to other cultures, experiences and opinions which creates an inclusive work environment.
2. What do I value?
I really value recognition as this something that I find motivating. I also value working with others and having respect for people regardless of their appearance, background, etc. Not to sound shallow, but money is very important to me so it is something I value.
3. How did I get here?
Knowing very early on that I wanted to attend Oregon State was the first step in how I got here. Once completing my undergraduate degree, I landed a role at Nike, which was a dream come true. My ambition to continue growing my career at Nike and moving up in the company motivated me to pursue my MBA with a focus in Organizational Leadership which has led me to this point.
4. Where am I going?
The actions that I’ve taken to get me to where I am today, are actions that I continue to take. I am confident that in continuing to set goals for myself and always achieve more is going to lead me to a successful career at Nike. I predict that as I continue to gain experience I will be in a leadership/manager role over a smaller team and then continuing to progress to manage and lead larger groups.
Hi Kayla,
I found that your response was very similar to mine in certain aspects! I have also done everything in my ability to get ahead and work hard, with many different people. I hope that you enjoy your time at Nike and wish you the best of luck in your career!
Thanks!
Kayla,
I really enjoyed your post and more specifically, I liked your section about where you’re going. Setting goals and taking the necessary steps to get there is something I do myself. If you don’t have a solid goal and know everything it takes to get there, then it’s difficult to achieve anything. Thanks for a great post and good luck with Nike.
