Belden's RISE ERG Hosts First In-Person Event Focused on Early Career Growth Networking and Leading with Intent

Programming example

I am extremely proud to share that on April 21st, RISE, Belden Inc.'s employee resource group for early career professionals, held its first in-person event! It was my absolute pleasure to organize this together with Charon Ouwens and Franziska Fehring, whose support made the day possible.

We packed a lot into one day: ▪ A networking breakfast to bring everyone into the same room and the same conversation. ▪ A panel on growing your career with intent, where Oliver Kleineberg and Tobias Braunwarth shared their experiences and perspectives. The conversation covered how to navigate and overcome career challenges, how to deal with external pressures from social media, and the importance of grounding your decisions in your own values rather than outside expectations. ▪ A session on understanding and analysing your professional network, led by Prof. Sofya Isaakyan from Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. ▪ A workshop on leading through ambiguity to close out the day.

The thread running through it all: keep your "North Star" and stay true to yourself. When you are clear on what you stand for, external pressure has less hold on you, and that clarity is what carries you through the harder moments of a career.

Thank you to everyone who joined, contributed, and made the room what it was! Excited for what is next for RISE and Belden! hashtag#RISEatBelden hashtag#Belden hashtag#EmployeeResourceGroups hashtag#CareerGrowth
