Top Takeaways

• "The most successful teams are those who adapt to changes in the market and the market opportunity." Teams that are true to their mission but adapt to market shifts can become durable, long-term value creators. Learning how to adapt is difficult and uncomfortable, but having a supportive team surrounding you will make it easier. 

• “It's about getting people together, about helping them get along.” Robin emphasizes the importance of having a good mentor in the early stages of your career who will support and push you into being a better employee and, in return, becoming a great mentor to others. The fulfillment in your career comes from enjoying the process and the relationships, not just the end result.  

• The value of in-person collaboration. The transition back to daily office life since COVID has proven that working remotely is efficient. Still, in-person work promotes collaboration and team building, which fosters a richer working environment and a healthier work-life balance.
