我们正在进行的“在5”系列中介绍了5人，主题或问题，以说明Covance培养出特殊的人，提供了一种充满活力的目的，并能够实现员工的职业生涯的非凡潜力。
In this article, we spoke with Julien Lazarus, Director, Global Data Management for Covance Central Laboratories in Geneva to get his view on the value of training and development for career growth. Given that Julien’s first role at Covance started as a training and development manager, he is well suited to share insights on how to grow a career, gain leadership skills and take advantage of mentoring opportunities at Covance.
1.从咨询教学的旅程
After completing his graduate degree in economics, Julien worked in business development for a large professional service network, developing marketing strategies for products and services. But after a few years, he was ready for a change.
“While I enjoyed business and financial consulting, I wanted to work at a place where the values were greater,” explained Julien.
经过几年的担任高校经济学教师，他发现他错过了企业界的某些方面，并寻求一个他可以将他对知识共享的兴趣结合的组织，并对人们的生活有所不同。
“I learned the work we do at Covance matters. That was something I didn’t have in consulting and I found it very rewarding.”
2. Growing his career in a global setting
作为Covance的培训和发展经理，Julien促进了欧洲，美国和亚洲的培训课程，获得了不同部门及其需求的见解。从这里，他能够过渡到高级项目经理的作用，获得各种临床适应症，如艾滋病毒，HPV，肿瘤学和多发性硬化症。几年后，他开始监督项目管理团队，然后采取初级领导作用。
“我在2014年举行了一个大胆的举措，”Julien承认。“我想改变全球数据服务部门的部门和工作。虽然我没有数据管理背景，但我知道我可以利用我在战略管理方面的经验。“
吉利施加了机会，并提供了这个职位。“通过机会，我获得了我所需要的经验，以便养成我的职业生涯，”他解释道。
3.在辅导关系中经历“新鲜空气呼吸”
While it has been over a decade since Julien’s first Covance position as a training and development manager, he still recognizes the value of ongoing coaching and mentoring.
“截至今天，我有六个思维关系，”朱利安说。“我喜欢能够坐下来将我的日常工作放在一边，听到有人面临的挑战。在这种情况下，我作为导师的角色并不是“知道它”。我作为一个询问挑衅性问题的人，倾听回应，甚至股票对他人而言。我发现这些谈话非常愉快 - 这是我一天的新鲜空气呼吸。“
4.在同事中找到“安全避风港”
While Julien has several ongoing mentees, he admits that has never had one person that he considers his official mentor. “I’d say that throughout my career I’ve had numerous informal mentors,” he explained.
“主要是这些”导师“是我仰视的人。他们会花时间和我见面。无论我是否从他们的见解中学到，花时间通风或只是弹跳我的想法，我发现这些对话有助于我考虑新的观点。对这些“安全避风港”的持续访问继续对我来说绝对重要。“
5. Encouraging others to increase their connections
对于朱利安，在凯悦中有一个导师是职业经验的重要组成部分，充分利用一个人的非凡潜力。
“At Covance, we have the opportunity to work in a truly global organization. Everyone is so devoted to what we do,” said Julien. “The people I have met in the past 14 years are all keen to share their experiences and ideas. Each time I get to meet someone new, I gain new ideas.”
“这就是为什么我鼓励我的团队了解我们的同事和同行。他们都有令人难以置信和鼓舞人心的故事。通过分享我们的时间，我们正在建立良好的关系，并提高我们跨越文化的互动能力。这真的是让鸽友特别的人，这就是我在这里的价值。“
