byWhen Angela Bergin, senior vice president of Global Payments Inc and IMAGE PwC Digital & Technology Businesswoman of the Year winner, returned to work after maternity leave she decided to show it was possible to come back with a bang. One step she took opened her mind to what she can do with her life and gave her the prompt to do it...Trust your gut. Our human intuition – and women’s in particular – is a powerful force.
I used to worry about whether you need to step down to step back. I realised, through experience, that we are all entitled to put our focus into different parts of our lives for a bit, such as maternity or paternity. We are entitled to a role or career that keeps us challenged and motivated and for that career progression to continue while still being respectful of our life’s boundaries.
Winning a Businesswoman of the Year Award really opened my mind about what I want to do and can do with my life.Absolutely, just do it! When you think about it, it’s practically impossible for all the variables to come together otherwise – that someone will hear about these awards, decide to submit you, nominate you ahead of the deadline, etc. Only you know enough about you to fill out the form .
But from here on forward, there is no excuse! For regrets I do my best to try figure out the cause and put my focus into the opposite , and I check in on my life-balance every few months now because I find where I want to focus changes at any point in time. So, I suppose the ‘what I wish I knew then’ is not to be so hard on myself, but to treat that tight feeling in my stomach as a friendly voice telling me to take control and to act differently the next time.
