Ep#14 Career Pivot with Lenka Pincot: From consulting and tech to banking

After a short summer break, Change is possible podcast is back with Episode # 14.
My guest is Lenka Pinkot.
Lenka is a leader in organizational transformation and strategic change. Her core expertise is building strategic transformation vision, driving complex change, creating customer value, and coaching agile teams.
Lenka has 20 years long career. She started as a consultant, gained tech industry experience, worked for a non-profit organization, and finally joined the banking sector.
When she was working for a non-profit organization, she learned these two things, which helped her for the rest of her career:
- Discovered what working with meaning and purpose is
- Understood efficiency. When you work with volunteers, no one wastes time with nonsensical tasks; people value their time and focus on what matters.
Regarding mentors, Lenka has had one of the most unconventional ones. She was taught this: when you have an issue, think about your famous superhero and what they would do.  Interesting approach, right??!!
As usual, I asked her about her three key takeaways for those who are thinking about changing their  careers:
1. Keep track of your achievements. Work on your brand and make it easy for people to understand who you are and what you can offer.
2. Work on your self-awareness and use it to build your resilience.
3. Be observant, and connect the dots. See the big picture and your place in it.
