AT&T
Lead Chief of Staff
I lead projects focused on employee engagement and diversity & inclusion.
Prior to starting each day I create a list of everything I need to accomplish before the end of the day. This helps me to stay focused and achieve my goals. I typically spend 2-3 hours a day in meetings, most are over the phone but some are in person. The meetings are mainly focused on syncing up with my peers on the various projects I am responsible for. My projects are focused on employee programs, events, and Diversity & Inclusion activities.
Here's the first step for high school students
Make plans to attend college after graduation and get your Bachelor's degree. While in high school begin exploring different occupations via job shadowing or internships. This will help you narrow down what field you want to get your degree in. It really helps to have a good idea of what you want to do so you can start off college with the right major. Making changes while in college to your major will typically extend the time it takes to earn your degree and will cost more money.
