What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
Say yes to learning and new opportunities. That might sound cliché, but it really is what can set you apart.
Volunteer for projects that others might not want to take on, and always look outside your standard job description. When you enter a role, there's a bulleted list of what you'll be working on.
But if you can find projects or asks that aren't necessarily in your day-to-day, that can really have an impact on others seeing you as reliable and in a leadership position. This will ultimately help you grow in your career and really pay off.
That being said, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You always have an opportunity to grow and adjust. That's something I even remind myself all the time.
