At just over 5 feet 3 inches, I was often the only petite woman in a male-dominated work environment. From day one in the railway industry, I strive to become a better version of myself and make a name for myself—V. I successfully completed high-profile projects related to train delivery and actively contributed to fostering a positive company culture.

We are always facing many challenges at work, some of them are easy, some of them are difficult. The difficult challenge requires us putting more energy and effort in many aspects. We need to ask for cooperation from different teams in different functions, various locations and even different businesses. We need to break a complex challenge into small cases and solve the issue, one by one and step by step. We need to adjust the plans from time to time, find the most important and urgent task, leading the way to the ultimate target. We need to motivate the whole team especially in most difficult situations. We need to be patient, be diligent, be resourceful, be positive and stick to the true value. With all these small pieces done, everyone will definitely grow to a new level.

Top Insider Advice
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.
