To truly empower team members to own their careers, we defined the 3-pronged approach, namely EXPLORE-PARTNER-GROW. It starts with team members discovering their passion, purpose and defining their career goals; partnering with leaders, peers or mentors to have career conversations; and finally team members taking charge of their own development by leveraging on a variety of development resources and tools, such as taking on stretch assignments, cross-functional projects, a lateral transfer, finding a mentor or be someone else's mentor.... Both Empowered Careers and Mentoring program are closely related to team member’s growth and engagement, and I am so excited to have had the chance to work with the global project team and partners to put forth great resources, tools and inspiring stories to enable team members to truly own their development!

It’s my aspiration to lead and to make a positive impact on other’s development journey. I am thankful that, despite being an informal leader who does not have any direct report, I am empowered to create a program that would impact all team member’s career development experience. My engagement with Micron’s Women Leadership Network (one of the ERGs in Micron), community of practice and my current job role have made me truly believe in the saying, ‘You don’t need a title to lead’. Ultimately it takes courage, an authentic character, competence, and perseverance to realize your own dreams and to influence others. People are drawn to you when you truly care for them as a person, and their aspirations.
