Meet Arlene Derbaix, a woman who believes that we can love our lives as well as our jobs. Arlene is a Leader inside, and outside the corporate world. Starting with studies in Latin and Ancient Greek, she moved on to a Ph.D. in Finance Management. She currently holds a senior position in a leading Pharmaceutical company and is also the co-Founder of Bliss, a company focusing on women’s well-being… And by the way, she loves numbers!
In this episode, we talked about her ambition and challenges in being a leader inside and outside the corporate world. She highlights the importance of believing that everything is possible, however, there is no magic wand; she explains how our careers can be seen as a series of decisions, a succession of challenges driven by innate ambition. We discussed how to consciously and deliberately develop your career, and her philosophy “Build your own McKinsey”. She also expressed the importance of having a Career Coach to help you step back and re-evaluate your worth beyond your resume; women in leadership; and how the Power of the Network is key…
