Understanding your Key Skills with FYLD’s Shelley Copsey
Manage episode 373496087 series 3348032
How can you harness your strengths and understand your weaknesses? FYLD’s CEO Shelley Copsey has spent her extensive career figuring out just that and has some great advice for anyone that is hard on themselves about their perceived shortcomings. At FYLD she spends time with junior colleagues, unlocking their potential and expanding their horizons.
When she was thinking about her future, Shelley’s dad told her that she should keep her options open. That meant she studied a variety of subjects and ‘future-proofed’ her career through extra learning. When she decided to take a side step into technology, she continued to invest in herself. She practices this at FLYD by sponsoring junior colleagues in pursuing higher education and making time in her schedule to mentor and teach. In Shelley’s first consultancy role, she struggled to find women in senior leadership that she could look up to. Now she’s outspoken about the massive lack of encouragement that women receive during their tech career advancement.
FLYD is a digital platform that helps utility field workers manage productivity and safety in real-time. Shelley finds satisfaction in her work by helping people work in a safer, more efficient way.
Join us every episode with hosts Suchi Srinivasan & Corin Lines from BCG to hear meaningful conversations with women in digital, technology and business.
