Being great at your job isnโ€™t enough if leadership doesnโ€™t know your impact.

Managing up is a career skill nobody teaches.

Holidays don't solve career problems.
They often make them more ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฃ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ด.

When we're busy, it's easy to ignore the uncomfortable questions.

But when work slows down, and there's finally space to think, many professionals realise:
โ€ข they're exhausted
โ€ข they're no longer excited by their work
โ€ข they want a different challenge
โ€ข they need support

And that's not necessarily a sign that something is wrong.
Sometimes it's a sign that ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.

That the role that suited you a few years ago doesn't suit you today.

That it's time to be more intentional about what's next.

Before September arrives with its meetings, deadlines and distractions,
ask yourself: ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ?

Learn how career coaching can help you create clarity around what's next, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with confidence.

The ability to manage upward influences ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต, ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ, and ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ-๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.

You have Mentors. But no Sponsors.
Mentors give advice.
Sponsors create opportunities.
Knowing the difference can change your career.

In our latest Women to Watch feature, Dedun, UX Consultant (AI Business Solutions) at Microsoft UK, shares her journey from engineering and cybersecurity into designing AI-powered experiences for enterprise clients.

Along the way, she learnt how to find her voice in rooms where she was often the youngest person, the only woman, or the only Black woman.

Dedun saw the opportunity to build a community, establishing the Black Employee Group at Microsoft, creating a space for connection, support and visibility. ๐Ÿ’›

In our conversation, she talks about:
โ€ข Building visibility through personal branding
โ€ข Simplifying complex AI experiences
โ€ข Creating trust in AI adoption
โ€ข Using community to amplify impact
โ€ข Advocating for yourself and your achievements

Whether you're building AI products, growing your career, or looking to increase your impact within your organisation, there's plenty to take away from this conversation.

A mentor gives advice.
A sponsor changes your career trajectory.

Career progression is often shaped by who speaks for you when decisions are made.

Meet Ope, Data Security Solutions Engineer at Rubrik.

Ope's career has taken her across telecommunications, cloud, data, AI, and security. Throughout that journey, one thing has remained constant: ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—น๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜… ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ป๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜.

Today, she helps organisations protect and unlock the value of their data, guiding conversations that span technical teams and business leaders.

What continues to motivate her is the transformative power of data and AI.

As Ope explains:

Early in her career, she realised that starting with the tech itself, the real impact starts with the customer's ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€, ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€, and ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€.

Ope often found herself as one of the few women, and sometimes one of the youngest people, in the room. Experiences like these taught her that confidence isn't something you wait for.

It's built through:
โ€ข showing up consistently
โ€ข staying curious
โ€ข preparing well
โ€ข believing in yourself
โ€ข learning from mistakes
โ€ข trusting your ability to grow

Her mentors and business leaders challenged her to think bigger, opened doors, and encouraged her at key moments. It's also why she's passionate about creating opportunities for others and giving back whenever she can.

And for women considering a career in Tech, AI, or Data, her advice is simple:

In many organisations, promotions reflect more than ex*****on.
They depend on how the impact is communicated, understood, and aligned with business priorities.

A lay-off disrupts your career and the way you see ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ง.

When Farah came to us, she had strong experience,
but not the clarity or confidence to move forward.

So we slowed things down.

We focused on:
โ€ข making sense of her experience
โ€ข defining the right roles
โ€ข building a clear, structured approach

Then, we started acting.
Applications became intentional.
Interviews were stronger.
And eventually, she received an offer.

Sometimes what you need to move forward in your career is:
1. A clear plan
2. The right support
3. The confidence to act

And often, career coaching can help with all of that.
