Here are some important
                                 things to remember.


















                                 Be curious and inclusive during your growth.
                                 Curiosity is core to meaningful growth, but when we
                                 are curious together we can achieve so much more.
                                 Being inclusive means including perspectives that
                                 you wouldn’t normally as you learn and create a
                                 better path forward.


                                  Be open and seek support across the organization.
                                  Our organization is big, but it is committed and
                                  intelligent. The breadth of Varian people gives all of
                                  us the fortune of having access to a lot of talented
                                  support. No one should be expected to grow alone,
                                  or feel like they have to.

                                 Increase accountability through two-way feedback.
                                 Feedback is a gift, not a weapon. When we seek
                                 feedback as often as we give it, our culture, growth,
                                 and value is so much more impactful. At Varian we
                                 view feedback as an input into meaningful develop-
                                 ment, not a way to criticize.


                                  Be creative and proactive in how you learn.
                                  Creativity is something we talk about when it comes
                                  to innovation, but you should strive to apply the
                                  same creativity to how you, and those around you,
                                  learn. Learning doesn’t need to be prescriptive and
                                  there are lots of ways to do it.
