It's vital to understand your role and develop communication skills
I remember my first wake-up call on a job. I remember walking into my manager’s office, opening up the file, and expecting the manager to tell me what to do. His reply: "Don’t come in here without the work completed, without a strategy and without ideas that you’re going to share with me." - Kevin Kelleher, CEO/President, CARTUS CORP |

We look for people who want to learn - who are curious
What impressed me most about someone first starting their career was someone who was out to learn something. We’ve been in the business for over 180 years… we’re continually learning about the Impact and use of energy and how to use that better. There are some people that are always curious about: What’s next – what’s next? What else can I learn? - Kevin Burke, CEO, President & Chairman, conEdison |

The value of mentoring and support to my career
We’ve been at this now for 40 years so there are some things that we’ve learned that are tried and true relative to mentorship, building those relationships. The relationships that I’ve developed here are the highest quality relationships that I’ve developed in this energy sector. Those relationships sustain you, they build you up, provide encouragement and all of those things are critical; and to have a “safe space” where it’s okay not-to-know, that everyone’s here to help you grow and develop. - Ralph Cleveland, Cleveland & Associates |

You need to understand the uncompromising demands of the job
The great demands of this business for a profession. This is not an automobile industry where you have recalls. If you send people off to the moon or to land on Mars you don’t get it back if someone made a mistake. It demands such discipline and imagination and creativity and those two things can often be in conflict there. - Bob Furman, CEO, LOCKHEED MARTIN |

Building Relationships is key to better serving your clients
My first social work supervisor had such a natural ability to connect with the homeless, who were living in shelters, SRO’s . I learned from him that’s “how to be”…. Building a relationship with someone was the foundation of how to begin helping someone. There has to be a mutual trust and a little sharing of yourself… - Kathleen Deschenes, CEO, CT Renaissance |
