Zainab KandehHello! My name is Zainab and I am thrilled that your journey through the world wide web landed you here. If my name tripped you up, don’t worry! I’ve lived through enough flushed faces, sudden looks of panic and awkward silences to make an art of walking people through how to pronounce it. Ready? It's spelled like Z-a-i-n-a-b, but you pronounce it say it like Zy-nub. Easy? Cool. Simple.
I am a writer, pop culture aficionado, Grammy-nominated singer (just kidding, but in my car with Beyoncé blaring you can’t tell the difference) and I’ve even done a short stint as a broadcast journalist. I have loved writing and storytelling for as long as I can remember. I have had the pleasure of sharing remarkable stories of people in and around my community through broadcast, radio and print mediums. Today, I take even more pride in using my skills as an Human Resources professional help others reach their goals. This blog is a place for me to share tips that I believe can help budding young professionals navigate the sometimes confusing world of personal and professional development and take the right steps to achieve their best selves. In addition to my love of helping others reach their personal development and career goals, when I find spare time I also love to read whatever Oprah tells me to, listen to podcast, and work out (except for burpees, those WILL NOT be done). I would also be remiss if I did not mention how corny I am and that I am known to insert Shakespeare, popular movie and television references and classic hip-hop lines whenever I deem necessary. Necessary for me typically means often. |
