“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” - Mother Teresa There are countless examples we could emulate after Mother Teresa, and that includes her practice of collaborating with others. As working women, our progress and growth is largely dependent upon the help and support that we give to one another. And as women of faith, we know that we were not meant to do it all alone. We need one another. And if we believe that our work is sacred – interwoven with God’s plan for His Kingdom – then we have every reason and incentive to seek help as much as we offer it. At Polished, we highly value collaboration: supporting, cheering on, and networking with other women in order to maximize our impact. Whether you are looking for a new job, creating a killer resume, or trying to establish your place in your company, consider this your permission to ask for what you need from the person who can give it to you. Maybe you know someone who works in HR and knows what makes a resume really stick out (in a good way!). Maybe you feel compelled to change industries and need to lean into your network for connections. Maybe you’re feeling stuck and need wisdom from a mentor. This month we are focusing on the value of leading and collaborating with others. Join us as we normalize working with others and asking for help, encouraging you to seek out the connections that will allow you to grow and lead better.
