What skills are most important for a job like yours?
That's a great question. I've been thinking about this all week and I've narrowed it down to three things.
Number one is optimism. You really need to have a positive mindset and be grateful for each step, even for the unknown. People can feed off your energy. I've always done very well when I've operated with a positive mindset; I'm just a positive person by nature, so a positive outlook has definitely helped me.
Next is innovation. You need to remain curious and be open to doing things you may not have thought of. Being able to pivot and go against the status quo is important. If everyone's doing something one way, think about how you can do it differently. Don't feel like you need to copy anyone; just be authentic, vulnerable, and be yourself. Always having that spark for curiosity has really paid off. Asking a lot of questions definitely helps.
The third would be commitment. You cannot have one foot in and one foot out; you have to be all the way in. Perseverance is huge. I remember I had to take the GMAT three times to get into my grad school program. I'm not a good test taker, so I studied hard for almost a year and then finally got in. Perseverance isn't just with studies; it's also with setbacks in business. There's always going to be an issue, and if you quit, you're not going to get anywhere. Just be all the way in and committed.
