Why You Need P.I.E.

As an immigrant to Canada, my parents always told me “Work hard and your work will get you noticed and promoted.” My parents’ advice was right for the first few years in my career, it worked, and I moved up quickly. However, no one told me that as you get more senior in your career, working hard just isn’t enough. Applying the same formula and believing that my hard work would speak for itself cost me my job, my confidence, and my worth.

Years later, I discovered a framework that put the career trauma I experienced in perspective. What a light bulb moment it was for me to learn that our forward trajectory in our careers is based on three simple elements comprised of P.I.E. I was so focused on one element of P.I.E., I had not invested in the other two elements. This talk is for those leaders who are also failing into the same trap and want to change their influence and trajectory.
