Resilience, Career Growth & the Long Term |
|
|
|
In this episode of Rocking Finance, RTSWS CEO Ashley Leftwich speaks with Caroline Gaynor, Vice President, Relationship Director & Investment Specialist at Avantis Investors, about resilience, career growth and thinking long term.
An accomplished endurance athlete, Caroline guides blind and visually impaired athletes through triathlons and Ironman competitions. She shares how hard work and persistence carry into her impressive financial career, and how setbacks can build self-awareness and confidence.
The conversation explores compounding beyond investing: how small actions, mentors and professional relationships can open doors throughout a financial career. Caroline encourages students to stay connected, reach out to professionals whose careers interest them and follow up thoughtfully, reinforcing RTSWS’s work helping students build financial knowledge and explore industry opportunities.
Her advice for students preparing for internships and early-career roles: do your research, ask questions and understand what success looks like before stepping into a new role.
