To get my first job when I had my work permit, I literally went to a local strip mall and I started going store by store.

過去簡單式

The Elizabeth Howard dinner theater was probably my 10th store that I had walked in and asked if they would be willing to hire a 14 year old.

Elizabeth Howard 晚宴劇院大概是我走進去的第十家店，我問他們願不願意僱用一個十四歲的年輕人。

She'd never hired someone below the age of 21, but

她以前從沒僱用過二十一歲以下的員工，但是

she told me later she was so impressed by this 14 year old who couldn't even drive, coming in and asking for a job that she took a chance.

她後來告訴我，她對這個連車都還不能開的十四歲小孩，自己走進來找工作印象非常深刻，所以她決定給個機會。

When I think about my career arc and how I got to the place I am today, I think there's been one theme which is about dreaming big.

當我回顧我的職涯軌跡，以及我是如何走到今天這個位置的，我認為有一個主題貫穿始終，那就是關於做大夢。

So when I was 17, I decided to study Chinese and I moved at the age of 20 to Taiwan and then Beijing.

I graduated from law school and I joined a law firm with a hundred year history and only one woman corporate partner.

我從法學院畢業，加入了一家有百年歷史、只有一位女性公司合夥人的律師事務所。

And I became the third seven years later.

Then I moved to Accenture, leaving a really successful career and choosing to become the general counsel at a global company, then becoming CEO of the North America business four years later and now the CEO of our global business.

接著我轉到 Accenture，放棄了非常成功的職涯，選擇成為一家全球性公司的總法律顧問，四年後成為北美業務的 CEO，現在則是我們全球業務的 CEO。

And in each case it was really about dreaming big.

And I say that because oftentimes people talk about taking risks and I prefer to thinking about these career transitions and pushing myself as dreaming big.

我這麼說是因為，人們常常談論冒險，但我更喜歡將這些職涯轉變和挑戰自我視為做大夢。

The choice to go from general counsel to CEO was very much about challenging myself and having bigger dreams and the excitement that goes along with that.

從總法律顧問轉任 CEO 的決定，很大程度上是為了挑戰自我、懷抱更大的夢想，以及隨之而來的興奮感。
