“I very much enjoyed working with Ryan at Polycom. He is a fantastic marketing and communications leader with great focus and a very contemporary global business outlook. He has a truly collaborative and consultative approach to working with international teams, that goes beyond simply disseminating corporate materials and taps into the strengths and ideas of all team members. He is adept at formulating clear strategies and leading projects with multiple stakeholders. Ryan brought about a step change in the way Polycom communicates by moving the Corporate Communications function from a traditional PR mindset to a much more integrated social and digital approach. One of his many successful legacies is a Polycom staff base that is far better empowered to share customer success stories and their own views, experience and expertise, in order to amplify the company's key messages. It would be a pleasure to work with Ryan again.”

Here's how you can navigate career transitions with resilience.
1. Remember: change is the only constant. Embrace it, because you can't run from it. As Churchill said: We can either take change by the hand, or it will take us by the throat! 2. To adapt to change, constantly push yourself to learn. Don't get too comfortable in what you already know. The skills you have today will be outdated in 5 years. 3. Learning and growing means getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. Failing & falling are part of the process. Growth is uncomfortable but it builds strength. 4. You can't do it alone. Lean on your network, ask for help. More people are supporting you than you might think. People naturally want to help. 5. Take risks. You'll regret the things you *didn't* do much more than the things you did do.
