Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sierra
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think continuing to be a student of the game and spending more time listening and observing than talking and speaking. If you just listen and watch, you're gonna learn a lot more about the people around you and the value that you can bring them. That's what's given me my success.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Remembering your why, and why you're showing up every day. Because if you leave that as your North Star, you're gonna show up as the best version of yourself.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Every woman brings something different and unique, and their perspective matters. Remember what you bring to the table and don't let anybody allow you to forget it. Find ways to highlight that and lean on the things that you're good at. Amplify your own talents rather than trying to mimic somebody else's.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
You're gonna hear no about 98% of the time, and then it's about operating for the 2% of the time that you get the yes. The persistence and the discipline to keep showing up when majority of the days you don't want to. It's a very autonomous job. Remembering that you're operating for that 2% where you hear the yes and being okay hearing the no.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
In regards to work, it's always operating with a high sense of integrity, remembering that and putting patients at the forefront. My time in the ER gave me a good hands-on approach. Personally, operating with a high sense of integrity but remembering finding what value you can bring to others, whether it be helping them, loving them, or showing them what they need to see within themselves.
