Algunas de las decisiones más importantes de una carrera no se toman cuando todo va bien, sino cuando algo cambia:
- Un nuevo contexto en la empresa.
- Una reestructuración.
- Un cambio personal.
- Or simply the feeling that your career is no longer moving in the right direction.
In those moments many people realize something: advancing professionally is not always about working harder, but rather about gaining perspective and strategically deciding what the next step should be.
That is the type of process that I accompany with my clients today.
Hi, I'm Erica Lais.
Durante más de 17 años desarrollé mi carrera en el mundo corporativo, principalmente en el sector financiero y de negocios digitales, trabajando en instituciones globales como Citibank y HSBC.
Throughout that journey I worked in different areas related to strategy, business growth and digital transformation, and in the last years of my corporate career I held management positions leading business initiatives and digital development.
I have also had the opportunity to live in five countries: Brazil, Mexico, the United States, Singapore and Germany, which has allowed me to develop an international perspective on professional development, leadership and career decisions.
But perhaps the most important thing is that my trajectory never followed a single line.
Over the years I made several professional transitions, moving between different roles, projects and contexts.
What all of those decisions had in common was something that over time became central to my career thinking:
They were intentional decisions.
What I learned from my own career transitions
After experiencing several different professional stages, I understood something important.
Careers rarely develop in a linear fashion. There are often times when we need:
- Take distance to understand where we are
- Redefine our professional priorities
- Reposition our experience
- Decide what the next chapter of our career should be
In those moments, having clarity and strategy makes all the difference.
