A positive attitude is a crucial factor in the success of new employees. It can help them navigate challenges, build relationships, and make a good impression on their colleagues and superiors, all of which are important for their career growth and development. When it comes to new employees, a positive attitude can make a big difference in how they approach their job and interact with their colleagues.

Two key pieces of advice that can help you in any career are to be visible to the company and to know what you're doing.

By knowing what you're doing, you increase your value to the company and become more likely to be considered for advancement opportunities. To be successful in your career, it's also important to take ownership of your own professional development. This means seeking out opportunities to learn and grow, whether through training programs, online courses, or mentorship opportunities. By investing in yourself, you can become more knowledgeable and skilled, which will increase your value to the company and make you a more competitive candidate for promotions and new opportunities. In summary, if you want to build a successful career, it's important to be visible to the company and to know what you're doing.

Everyone has something to offer. Each person comes with a depth of perspective, experience and knowledge, so it is always important to stay curious, learn from others and keep an open mind. The more we open ourselves beyond our existing beliefs on what should be, the more we embrace cognitive diversity and therefore grow. On the other hand, each of us also has something to share. Never undermine your knowledge, experience and perspective, it is a gift to those around you as you provide the same opportunity to them as they do for you.
