Are you moving into an HR role or into a position where you will be leading teams?

Listen into the latest episode of the Conscious Biotech Exec for advice from Monica Pleasant and learn from her journey to becoming the Director of HR for Medtronic Neurovascular, a global leader in medical device development. 

A few key takeaways from the episode: 
- If you're going to lead people, get to know them. If you want to get to know people, learn to listen. If you want to help people, ask more questions and listen with empathy. 
- Find a mentor who has time, will have your best interest in mind, and has strong skills that are complimentary to your weaknesses. If you don't know your weaknesses, make time to find out.
- Work on those soft skills, they are just as important as technical skills. It's harder to master EQ/soft skills because unlike the technical skills you learn in your role and can be easily taught, it requires a change in behavior that only comes with a significant level of self-awareness, time, and intentionality. 
- Belonging is an output of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Your teams won't get a sense of belonging if any of these inputs are missing.
