The Blueprint Isn’t Missing: You’re Writing It

HR Summer School 2025 kicks off in a little over a week.

Oh, you’ve never heard of it? If you follow me on LinkedIn, then you already know—it completely takes over my timeline at the start of every summer. It’s full of real talk, professional gems, and the kind of encouragement that lingers.

That’s where I first got the nudge I didn’t know I needed—a reminder to use my voice, even when I didn’t feel ready. Especially then.

But the truth is, I didn’t feel particularly inspiring at the time. I felt like I was still catching up. I looked around and saw people starting businesses, getting promoted, pivoting into big roles, launching courses and content strategies that looked flawless. Meanwhile, I was building from vibes, instinct, and late-night note dumps in my phone.

I used to think I was behind. That everyone else had it figured out, and I was somehow missing the thing that made it all make sense.

But I’ve learned that the path I’m on doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be valid.

For a long time, I looked outward. I tried to mirror the moves of people who seemed further ahead. I questioned my timing, my strategy, my slowness. I tried to follow blueprints that were never made for me.

But eventually, I realized I was the only one who could build this right.

Now? I’m not waiting for a model to follow. I’m not comparing my steps to someone else’s sequence. I’m writing the thing I once thought I had to find.

This is the blueprint.

The pivot I made even when no one understood it. The boundary I set even when it felt uncomfortable. The moment I chose integrity over opportunity. The career lane I carved out for myself when none of the traditional ones fit.

Some weeks I write with clarity. Other weeks, I’m still sorting the words. But every week I show up. Every week, I build.

So if you’ve ever felt like you’re behind or missing something, I hope you know this: you're not. You’re just creating a path no one’s walked yet.

You're not off track. You're the one laying the track.

Because wah fi yuh, cyaan un fi yuh.
