Keep Your Core Values in Mind

“When the pandemic hit, it became very apparent that I had to intentionally design my life into alignment with my values, or I’d fall victim to the status quo—so I’ve done just that—and I’ll be the first to acknowledge that my life is quite wonderful!”

Don’t Work Too Hard!

“Covid hit and I never stopped working. It was constant and that burnout, that extreme fatigue really kicked my butt, really forced me to say, no, if I don’t establish boundaries, I’ll be no good to myself, my team, or anybody out there.”

Dario

Pursue Your Passions

“It was a revelation for me that I could try and make my passions central to my career. At the beginning, I didn’t know exactly where I was going, but at Hult, I had a year to explore and discover the best way to apply my passions to my hard skills. It turned out to be impact investing, but it could have been starting a social enterprise or anything else.”

Know Your Stuff

“CEOs must be aware of what roles actually mean and what a qualified person should master in terms of knowledge and change management traits. Getting it wrong will damage the company and its reputation. Getting it right will transform the business.”
