Check out SKDK’s very own Kelley McCormick’s career advice in this Capitol File piece: “DC’s Most Successful Women Share Career Advice.”
“Be fearless when making a decision or taking a risk. Don’t hedge and don’t apologize, own it. Be intentional about every job you take. It should add equity to your career in terms of experience, salary, or relationships. If it’s toxic or a drain on your life, don’t linger. Be curious! It keeps life interesting and makes you interesting to others. Be polite, manners go a long way even in today’s world and it will make your grandmother proud. Be sure to give back or reach back. As Madame Albright has said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.” – Kelley McCormick, Managing Director, SKDKnickerbocker
