Schneider Electric recently hosted the\u00a0Women in Sustainability<\/a>\u00a0networking event at its London office.\u00a0Rhian Sherrington<\/a>, an international speaker, and author of two books on personal performance and leadership, created the network to help women flourish in careers that are building a sustainable world.<\/p>\n

More than 45 professionals with a diverse range of experience,\u00a0from corporate directors to sole traders to social entrepreneurs, gathered in London to connect with peers, share experiences and listen to\u00a0some great\u00a0speakers.<\/p>\n

Key Takeaways and Advice<\/h4>\n

Here are some key takeways and career advice from\u00a0Maureen Bray, International Consultancy Manager at Schneider Electric.<\/p>\n

\"MB1. \u00a0Be prepared to rise to the challenge, the tough situations, and do your utmost to\u00a0 deliver your best. Proving your value, especially when starting out, is vital. It brings you to the attention of senior people who can become your main advocates and allies. Results talk.<\/p>\n

2. Recognize when you\u2019ve reached the \u2018end point\u2019 in your current role, when you cannot progress anymore. Then rise to the challenge and be prepared to take, possibly, a sideways move in order to build your skills. Progression isn\u2019t always linear or about increasing your remuneration or job title\u00a0\u2014 it\u2019s about growing \u2018you\u2019 and enjoying your job too.<\/p>\n

3. Get out of your comfort zone, and go for those roles or projects you feel you can do, even if you don\u2019t have direct experience. You might not fit the requirements on paper, but if you know you have the transferable skills and the passion to make it work, seize the opportunity. Be courageous and show you can succeed. Learning on the job\u00a0is necessary, and a great way to sharpen and extend your abilities.<\/p>\n

4. Follow your passion, but be flexible. Sometimes you need to close a door on something if it really isn\u2019t working out. So often, however, another door opens, presenting a far better opportunity than you could have imagined.<\/p>\n
