It got me thinking, how aware are you when it comes to making what you call calculated decisions? This ties into our theme of love and logic, the heart and the head. When you reach a critical point in your career path, how much do you lean on your analytical side? I'm not just talking about money or job titles, but evaluating the broader prospects of a position, diving deep into the industry.

How much of it is a calculated assessment? Or perhaps is it more about a gut feeling that tells you, hey, this is the right move. So do you consider yourself primarily analytical when making career decisions? Or do you tend to go with the flow? Or maybe you have your own unique approach or system for navigating these decisions. How does that work with you?

There are two other words that perfectly capture the essence of love and logic. They are heart and head. Can you recall a pivotal moment or situation when you were torn between following your heart or your head? What ultimately guided your decision then?

Growing up, I learned a straight rule. No crying at work is simply unprofessional. That was the norm in all the places I've worked and studied, both in the US and abroad. But let's be real. Whether you are a man or a woman, we are human, and humans have emotions. Crying is simply one way we express those emotions.

I believe that as our views on gender roles continue to evolve, it's becoming clear that we also need to rethink our attitudes towards showing emotions in the workplace.

There's a piece of the love and logic puzzle I haven't talked about much yet. So far, I've discussed following your heart as a standalone element. But our hearts, they are heavily influenced by our peers, the people around us, and the social environment we're in. Take my MBA classmates. For example, among my classmates, I am the outliner.

Most of them are in finance, CEO, CFO, senior bankers, senior management consultants, managing partner at PE and VC houses. If I had stayed long enough at certain companies, I would have ended up in those roles as well. But I made different choices along the way, guided by both heart and head.

The reason I bring up my own story at this juncture is that I've noticed many people struggle not just with the emotional versus logical decision-making, also with not seeing role models who reflect their aspirations. There's also often a deep-seated fear of judgment and fear of failure. These fears influence our hearts and ultimately impact our decisions. I'm curious about your experience.

How much have external factors like peer pressure, societal judgments or even social norms influenced you? You mentioned earlier that you aren't bound by gender norms, but what about other societal expectations?
