When I think about my career journey, what I know now is that IF I knew how to maneuver the political landscaping of corporate America and IF I had someone who could have taught me all the hard lessons I had to ultimately learn on my own, and IF I was apart of a program that helped me create a customized strategy where I could learn valuable lessons from experience professionals, I could have saved myself from a lot of growing pains, a lot of unforced errors and accelerated both the height and the speed of the trajectory of my career.
