[EchoHun] Global Career Success Guide: 90-Minute Practical Workshop Review on Promoting Yourself and Creating Opportunities

I am a career man in a foreign company. And I like to understand myself and grow. So, I participated in a coaching session with Hanina, who has been active in HR at Nike for 10 years. I haven't seen someone who is so confident, assertive, and not afraid to take on challenges in a long time. I was drawn to her.

I got to know Ina through Mia, with whom I have been building relationships on LinkedIn, and I thought Ina's career was impressive and that there was a lot to learn. From the beginning of the lecture, she started by saying that she wanted to convey a lot to us and that the audience's reaction was the most important. I am also giving mentoring lectures these days, and I felt that I should try harder to give a lot to the mentees.

Ina said that the reason she was able to join Nike and get promoted was 'potential'. I think many interviewers were impressed by her assertiveness and challenging spirit. I was really envious of how she could move forward like this without relevant performance, achievements, or experience.

The core keywords of the lecture that came to me were 'mindset' and 'Action Taker'. I was able to realize once again that it is important to look at what mindset I am working with and living in the world, decide what I am doing today for what I am pursuing, and move forward as it is.

In fact, people only think and don't put it into practice, and they have put their dreams and visions on hold. And they are caught up in the thought 'I won't be able to do it even if I try' and are preventing themselves from unleashing their potential. It will be important to confidently take various actions to move towards that endpoint, even if you can't reach it.

Recently, I'm paying attention to what I really like and what I'm good at again. I don't want to just go down the given path, the path that just flows. I also want to write a history like those who appear on YouTube for office workers, and I want to help others by informing them of value. So, I'm doing mentoring and this is also my vision.

There was a time in the workshop to express myself with LEGO. I am a 'megaphone'. I want to contribute and help others by utilizing my good voice. So, I also rebranded my blog as 'EchoHoon'.

After listening to the lecture, I set my Action Plan:
✅ To let many people in the company know about my achievements
✅ To consistently let them know about my dreams, thoughts, and what I want to do – through content.

I won't stop in the future either. I will continue to move forward and grow, and find what I can contribute to my family, company, and society.
