In this episode, Nozomi and Mohammed discuss:
- What a side resume is and how it connects to your happiness.
- Investing in your dream job with clarity.
- The importance of belonging in diversity and inclusion.
- Activism throughout the generations to support the future.
Key Takeaways:
- There is no such thing as work-life balance – sometimes one will take over and be more pressing than the other.
- The world needs allies who understand their privilege. We all have privilege when it comes to different things.
- Women’s rights are not just women’s rights. The same goes for any group of people. Learning about and standing up for others around you is the right thing to do.
- We all have biases. In order to really understand others, we have to recognize that and do the work to not allow them to influence us.
“If you remember a few years back, we only talked about diversity, then slowly, we started talking about inclusion, then we started talking about equity. Now we’re talking about justice and belonging. If you miss one of them, then you’re not achieving anything.” — Mohammed Farshori
“The privilege comes when you stand up for others, you make sure that you’re talking about them when they’re not in the room, and you’re standing up for them when they’re not in the room.” — Mohammed Farshori
“Your career is what you are paid for, your purpose is what you are made for.” — Mohammed Farshori
