Manage episode 386705929 series 3529885
In this episode we're talking with Tiffany Shorter. She's currently a Director of Change Management and Communications at AbbVie Pharmaceuticals, and she had a lot to share with us about her journey. From being open to receiving opportunities and support when they present themselves, to making sure that your values and vision are aligned with the moves you're making to drive your career, Tiffany lets us in on the wisdom of regularly asking ourselves, what are you going to do next?
We dive into the importance of being willing to take risks, building a strong network and how that opens up opportunities, why it's so important to continue to invest in your skills, and why and how it is important to have a growth mindset and how all of this contributed to Tiffany being where she is now.
Tiffany also talks about how to advocate for yourself in your career and why you should communicate your career goals and aspirations with your leader. She shares why it is imperative to center your values when looking for organizations to work for and roles to take on.
One of the many life lessons that Tiffany shares is to not “sweat the small stuff”. She encourages us to be open to the paths that life may take us on while facing obstacles with an open mind and curiosity.
I hope you find something here to support you on your journey as she shares what she'd tell herself from where she is today.

I also want to acknowledge that my perspective is one of privilege as a cis, hetero, white woman. While I make every effort to ensure I'm well informed beyond my bubble - I will make mistakes. It is never my intention to harm, and always my intention to repair and learn from mistakes I've made. While sometimes our mistakes are obvious, others need to be pointed out so that we can see and learn from them. I welcome your feedback on these issues and promise to do my best to be respectful, receptive and to continue learning from you.
