This week, Yesi Morillo shares the importance of staying ready to take advantage of opportunities so that you are prepared for any moment to be able to discuss what you are working on. “The elevator is one of the most underused networking tolls on Earth.” In this episode Yesi shares how interactions in the elevator have led to successful introductions in her rise from administrative assistant to senior executive.
Here are a few things that you will learn in this episode:
- How to help someone be an ally.
- Making sure that you seek peer to peer support and mentoring as it is critical for your growth.
- Understanding the difference between being mentored and being sponsored.
- Creating an environment for your team where they understand that “when one of us wins, we all win.”
- During the 24-Hour Influence Challenge, Yesi challenges the listeners to approach someone at your organization that you have never met before and ask them what they do for their company.
