Murphy,</a> CEO of <a href="gemsforthejourney.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Career Gems for the Journey</a>, discusses the importance of building professional relationships within your organization. </p>
<p>She emphasizes the need to step out of one's silo and connect with colleagues across different functions, particularly highlighting the pivotal role of executive assistants.
