Our Woman of the Week now includes career advice, insights, and feedback from our clients and friends.  Meet Marissa Michaels, Vice President of Employer Solutions at Novent Health

Marissa’s Top 3 Pieces of Career Advice:

1:  Trust yourself, be kind to yourself and be brave. It is so easy to focus on what you should have done differently; what you did not think to do or wish you would have done in the first place. I find comfort now in acknowledging I am doing my very best always and that is enough for me!

2:  Be championed by someone and champion others. I was very lucky to have been championed by several leaders who believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. Their support was enough to make me better in every situation and sent a message to others to believe in me, too. Therefore, find a champion but, better yet, champion someone else. I am beyond grateful to my champions.

3:  Lastly, and something I learned more recently is the power of storytelling. You can give the facts, or you can tell the story that brings the facts to life. Everyone has a story, and we all have a chance to tell someone else’s story in a meaningful and impactful way.
