Be at the seat of the table in making the key decisions, this provides an opportunity to hear other people's views across other teams and functions and provides a different perspective as well as the opportunity to shape the direction in a different way. Believe in yourself and your teams always.

Never be afraid to ask a question, no matter how silly it may be. Someone may want to know the answer as well. This goes part-in-parcel with listening, it is easy to hear someone but to listen and absorb the information and if you don’t understand then ask them to explain more. People will respect you more if you are engaging with them and ask for more information if you don’t understand.

Create an understanding of what area you want to get into and perfect your craft ! Gain as much work experience as you can or if your in higher education - Do something different i.e. work placement/ study abroad in your degree to make sure you stand out from the crowd. You will not regret it ...Trust me ! Always follow your passion and be yourself ! You are more comfortable being yourself rather than someone your not :)
