Quotable Advice:
Obi shared advice from someone she admires, Ruth Porat, Alphabet’s CFO. Rather than asking your sponsor or mentor to help you get a specific new role, ask them, “What’s my highest and best use?” This question helps them be creative in brainstorming your next role. As you think about your strengths, it may be very different from the next step you would have chosen for yourself.
