While doing good work is vitally important, it may not be enough to get you noticed and move you along your career path. That was the message of a panel discussion, “Accelerating Career Advancement,” held at Mount Sinai Queens on Thursday, March 14, as part of its celebration of Women’s History Month.
The panelists were, from left in photo: Mount Sinai Queens leaders Judy Trilivas, RN, MA, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; Ana M. Rodriguez, LCSW, Director of Community Relations and Volunteer Services; and Caryn A. Schwab, Executive Director; along with Pamela Y. Abner, MPA, Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, Office for Diversity and Inclusion, Mount Sinai Health System. Ms. Schwab urged attendees to be confident in asking for help and in seeking more responsibility. “When you take initiative, people will expect more from you and want to give you more,” she said. “Sometimes, the best opportunities come at the least expected time and will take you to places you never even imagined.”
