Picture this: It’s 1997, I am dancing like no one’s watching on top of a table, and I feel someone pulling my jeans to grab my attention. I look down, and it was the queen bee of all Marketing Managers, my heart stopped as I came down from the table, and she says to me with a puzzled look on her face, “Why are you not this vibrant person at work?” The answer was that I somehow believed that I could not bring my bubbly, vivacious self to work because I thought I would not be taken seriously and would be perceived as unprofessional. I imagined only being able to thrive if I appeared to be someone else. I wonder if you keep the real you hidden at work. Do you? In this episode I chat to Andrea Quaye, Senior Director, Global Category Lead Coffee at the Coca-Cola Company (she recently located to Dublin to take up this position). The above excerpt is from a fabulous article she published on LinkedIn entitled Dancing on Tables.
