These are my top 5 proven, tried and tested rules which helped me have a smooth 5 years in the corporate workplace.

1. Don’t try to impress your superiors. They are not going to fall for it. Be genuine. It is the only thing that will set you apart in the crowd.

2. Trust that rock star inside of you. Don’t be afraid to let him/her shine through occasionally.

3. Take credit humbly and don’t be afraid to acknowledge your shortcomings.

4. Be ready to learn anything, even if you are taught the alphabets all over again.

5. Speak up. It is important to voice your opinions, thoughts and feelings. Don’t expect the other person to magically have the ability to read your mind and give you what you want.
