Central student Adrienne Henry was featured recently on “The Manufacturing Shakeup,” a podcast sponsored by the Connecticut Office of Manufacturing. The episode highlights the value of persistence, competence, and personal responsibility, principles that guide success in manufacturing and more.
In the March 25 episode, "The Power of Persistence," Adrienne shares her experience overcoming imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is a phenomenon where capable individuals still doubt their abilities despite clear success. Adrienne explains how she combats this by focusing on tangible, hands-on results. Research shows that confidence builds when you can see the real-world impact of your work, rather than relying solely on praise.
Throughout the podcast, Adrienne shared how her conscientiousness and industriousness drive her to stay focused and push forward. She emphasized the importance of listening to feedback and adapting, demonstrating agreeableness, and highlighted how staying calm under pressure has been crucial in her success.
Adrienne's employer, Region Manufacturing, supports her by offering flexible hours that help her balance work and school. This flexibility allows her to continue thriving, further proving that the right environment can help individuals excel.
