Climbing the corporate ladder
summary
23 years in corporate finance and consulting yields a practical playbook: a 1-3-1 code (bust the “have it all” myth, three lessons, one piece of advice), no shortcuts—always prepare for meetings, build a clear personal brand, and change context when a team is toxic. Concrete actions include negotiating a year of non‑travel for maternity and getting an exact new role, declining two overseas partner offers prematurely, and rehearsing theatre around work hours. Core mantra: don't leave before you leave and set visible, time‑boxed compromises.
