Meet Darlene, Director of Strategic Planning at Comcast!
What do you love most about your job?
My position allows me the unique position of having a seat at the table. It sent me on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, and belief in my potential to contribute meaningfully to the collective goals of the organization. It allowed me to acquire new skills, understanding industry trends, while contributing to impactful projects.
How have other women helped shape your career?
Women have been my biggest cheerleaders via mentorship, inspiration, advocacy, collaboration, peer support and most importantly support networks. I cannot shower my village with enough praise that would adequately describe how appreciative I am to have them in my life.
Outside of work, what’s something you are passionate about?
Outside of work, I'm passionate about my family, friends, and experiencing new adventures. Investing time and energy in family and friends means building a legacy of memories, understanding, and unconditional love. It's about celebrating successes together, providing comfort during times of sorrow, and everything in between. New experiences have challenged my perceptions, pushed boundaries, and stimulated my personal growth. It reminds me that beyond the routine of daily life lies a world brimming with exciting opportunities to learn, explore, and evolve.
What do you value most about your membership with The WICT Network?
WICT has introduced me to so many phenomenal women and allies. It’s provided me with a valuable blend of networking, professional growth, leadership, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the development of women in your industry. These experiences not only contribute to my personal and professional growth but also allows me to contribute positively to my community and industry.
