Stepping out of your comfort zone is crucial for personal and professional growth. For me, moving from France to Romania was a transformative experience that expanded my horizons and enhanced my adaptability. It taught me to navigate new environments and cultures, enriching my perspective. Similarly, transitioning from Human Resources to procurement allowed me to develop new skills and insights. This shift has enabled me to understand business processes more deeply and contribute more significantly to my organization. Embracing these changes has ultimately empowered me to take on challenges and seize opportunities that I might have previously overlooked.

Nowadays, we live in an environment that is constantly changing and we have to adapt ourselves to live in uncertainty. My main advice, is that you should not be afraid to accept challenges. Impostor syndrome and the fear of change often does not allow us to express our maximum potential and often keeps us from develop professionally as much as we would like. As we say in Spain, "you have to take the bull by the horns" to be able to move forward and be happy.

Consistency and authenticity are key to building a strong personal and professional brand. Always seek to understand your stakeholders, colleagues and team - and tailor your communication to meet their needs.
