My career journey showed you don't always need the experiences - and i believe more should be done to hire on potential.

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.

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 :)
