[quote=Anonymous]Careers have phases. It’s okay to let your job take a backseat for a while and focus on your family, but definitely keep a foot in the door. Show up to in person gatherings whenever possible even if not required. Get face time with the leadership team. When you’re ready to lean back in, look for people to mentor/advocate for you and high profile opportunities to shine. Give those relationships and opportunities your all. Take some of those personality tests and try to learn from reviews to really understand your strengths and growth areas. Be open to the idea that some of your greatest strengths may not be what you trained for, and learn how to further develop those (I’m saying this as a trained scientist who is now in a high level management role). Learn to write well - or in this day and age, at least learn how to use AI effectively to write well. I’ve seen numerous people be denied leadership opportunities in part because they couldn’t.[/quote]
