KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sometimes the best directions for our careers, are the ones that allow us to develop and broaden the skills we have, and to develop new ones. When trying to effect change, we must recognise that the individuals we work with have valuable insights, perceptions and input. There is always further that we can go. There is always higher that we can reach. We must constantly be on the lookout for ways to be the better versions of ourselves. Our careers are often the result of someone seeing something within us, and giving us a chance. It is incumbent upon us to do the same when we see others that aspire to being better.BEST MOMENTS
'I'm very people focussed - I really like people'
'People give me the inspiration to better myself'
'What can I learn now? What's different? How can I develop?'
