Project Manager | Project Management Career Coach | Helping early-career professionals (0-5 years) transition into project management roles in the IT industry.

I never planned to work in mining.
I never planned to shift from project management to communications either.
But careers aren’t always linear and mine is proof.

After years in IT and project management, I made the leap into a completely new industry and role, handling internal communications, global training, and office operations.

Now, I document this journey to help professionals see what it really looks like to:
🌍 Transition industries & roles without starting from scratch
🧠 Build adaptability and communication skills that stand out
💡 Reimagine success when you’re starting over in your 30s

On my profile you’ll find:
🔹 Stories & lessons from inside a global mining company
🔹 Corporate career and life lessons
🔹 Honest reflections on career transitions and identity shifts

If you’ve ever thought about starting fresh, moving industries, or re-entering the workforce in a new role, my content is built for you.

Building relationships at work means talking only to people higher in the hierarchy.
Trying to impress “two levels up” or chasing relationships only based on titles.

Build human relationships with anyone. Any level. Any team. Any background.

What I realised after joining Weir Minerals :

It’s not about hierarchy.
It’s not about the “right” department.
It’s not even about years of experience.

It’s about people.
About genuine connection.
About trust.

You might think:

“But shouldn’t I network only with seniors?”
“Isn’t relationship-building about climbing the ladder?”

Nope.

In this non-linear career era, you never know who will be the next person to help you, guide you, or open a door.

Every time I tried to think traditionally “connect upward, connect selectively” work proved me wrong.

The most meaningful support came from unexpected places.

Lesson: 
Genuine relationships > hierarchical relationships.
Always.

P.S. Who at your workplace has supported you in a way you didn’t expect?

A VERY important reminder for anyone restarting their career in a new country:

Taking a lower role is not failure.
Switching industries is not the end of your career.

But if you refuse to adapt, you’ll actually limit your opportunities 
or end up waiting months for a job that fits your old title.

I get it, some of you might land the exact same role abroad.
You’re the minority, and that’s amazing.

For everyone else:

Don’t be ashamed.
Don’t compare.

Remember:
You didn’t downgrade your worth, you upgraded your resilience.
You took the first step that most people are too scared to take.
And trust me, your skills didn’t vanish just because your title changed.

Your new beginning just needs time to reveal who you’re becoming. 😊

Make sure to follow me for more lessons on career transitions, non-tech roles, and restarting your career abroad.

PS. Do you really think career growth still happens in one neat ladder?
📷 This was what I wrote after graduating my PGDM in 2019 and 6 years later I’m proudly living a non-linear career.

I’m a proud corporate softie.
There, I said it 🤭 hehe

People often say that to be successful, you need to be a badass at work
serious, tough, loud with boundaries, and a little intimidating.

Here’s what people forget about softies:

“Soft people can’t hold teams together.”
▶️ we create warmth and psychological safety so teams don’t fall apart.

“Soft people can’t be taken seriously.”
▶️ we just don’t need to intimidate anyone to earn respect.

“Soft people don’t know boundaries.”
▶️ we set them gently, consistently, and without drama.

“Soft people aren’t leaders.”
▶️ we lead through connection, not fear.

“Soft people get walked over.”
▶️ we just prioritize humanity over hierarchy.

We'll be the one who remembers your birthday, checks in when you look stressed, and smiles at everyone in the hallway, while still delivering every task on time 🫰 

Share this with the corporate softie in your life, they deserve a little love today 🫶

Unpopular opinion: I actually like working from the office 😌

For me, work isn’t just about deadlines or meetings, it’s about people. The random chats, the small laughs, the “hey, need help?” moments. That’s what makes it feel alive. And honestly, that’s what I’ve loved the most in every office I’ve worked at those real, human connections.

When you have that, showing up doesn’t feel like just another workday, it feels like being part of something that matters.

I’ve single-handedly delivered multiple million-dollar IT projects on time without compromising quality.
But the moment I switched from SDLC to the mining process, even simple tasks started making me feel like a complete beginner.

This explains why our confidence can drop overnight, even when our skills haven’t gone anywhere.
But because our environment changes faster than our identity, something unexpected happens:

We start doubting ourselves for tasks that have nothing to do with our actual capability.

You can excel at complex systems and still freeze at unfamiliar ones, not because you’re inexperienced, but because the game is different.

So, how do we rebuild confidence when we suddenly become beginners in a new industry or new country?

By separating our skills from our environment.

Here are 4 steps to help you get started:

1. Learn one new word, tool, or concept from your new industry every day.
(eg: I always get confused between comminution and communication, two completely different things.)

2. Map something from your past experience to your new industry so you don’t feel lost.
(eg: I compare mining processes to SDLC so my brain has something familiar to hold on to.)

3. Keep a career journal and write one daily sentence about what you learned or felt.
(eg: Today I realised I tried to learn the whole pump system without knowing the basics.)

4. Ask one clarifying question a day instead of overthinking things alone.
(eg: ‘Can you show me an example?’ instead of stressing for hours.)

Take the next 30 days to practice this identity shift, and you’ll rebuild the confidence you thought you lost,  this time, with even deeper self-awareness.
