Inspiration & Resources

Inspiration comes from so many different places for me and every time something truly inspires me, I make note of it and keep it bookmarked, write it down or take a screen shot to remind myself of how I felt when I found it. This section highlights some of my inspiration through websites, memes, Instagram accounts, books and articles that inspired me in some way. I would love to share them with you.

I wanted to not only provide the resource but I wanted to share why it’s important to me and the topics that I want to continue to delve in to.

Websites & Resources

www.leanin.org: This is an amazing resource, and their mission is to help women achieve their ambitions at work to create an equal world. Feelings of inadequacy in inequality often affect our mental health and force us to question our self-worth and abilities. It is important to commit to having this conversation around equity in the workplace and adds to diversity and inclusion.

https://hbr.org/: Harvard Business Review has some of the greatest articles on Leadership and strategy and you will see me reference a lot of their material through my own blog posts. It is the leading destination for smart management thinking and discusses leadership from diverse angles.

https://www.psychologytoday.com: It should come as no surprise, given the field that I am going in to that I would have a lot of heart for these articles and blogposts. They also have a great Instagram account. @psyh_today

www.careerjoy.com: This is where I got started. I used their program to understand where I would like to start with my new journey. I went through tests and a few sessions that allowed me to focus and narrow in on what I ultimately wanted out of the next chapter in my life.

Working with Sheema

sheema khan

"Sheema is one of the most passionate leaders I’ve had the opportunity to work with. She prides herself on delivering the best work whether it’s for an internal or external stakeholder. I’ve witnessed first hand how devoted she is in achieving success and growth for any business she works on. She also goes out of her way to ensure that her team is always given direction, coaching, and adequate support. She has always been open to feedback from the team and I found her to be a great people manager."

"Sheema was a valued member of the team who always brought a positive attitude and collaborative approach to her work with a focus on delivering results. She always met a challenge head on and approached it as a chance to learn and develop."

"Sheema's strongest asset is found in her leadership qualities. Whether it was her ability to influence others to drive action, or her strong knowledge of the business and right level of detail to provide valuable insights. Sheema was always laser focused on delivering for her business, but most importantly her team."

"Sheema is also focused on her people, whether that's through her strong ability to provide constructive feedback, or her commitment and hands-on approach to developing career growth and opportunities. It was always clear that Sheema cares about her team and their success. "
