Key Discussion Points:
00:58 Advocating for Yourself in the Workplace: You cannot accomplish anything in your organization without knowing what you want, networking, and adding value.
05:11 Stop Trying to Prove People Wrong: Don’t chase things just because someone says you can’t do it. That doesn’t help you in your life.
06:05 Understanding Your Why: Without a clear why, you’ll waste energy chasing goals that don’t actually belong to you.
In Summary: Olivia shares practical strategies for career growth by focusing on clarity, strategic networking, and adding visible value. She urges us to define our “why” instead of chasing goals rooted in ego or external doubt.
