What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
Aside from being consistent, relationships and consistency go together. If you are consistent, people who have close relationships with you know the quality of your work.
They can vouch for you and help you go places. Relationships really do matter, and your work speaks for itself. People will talk about you in rooms you're not in.
They'll say, "So-and-so can handle that." Or, "I'm so grateful so-and-so is on my team." Or, "I know an opportunity for this person. I'm going to be a reference." So relationships and being consistent are hands down the best things you can do.
