Advice to my younger self ( and to other women )

Relationships have value I am where I am because of the relationships I have . I love connecting with people . When doing so , I need to remind myself to get out from behind my desk and connect , be genuine , and help people out . Building a network will benefit you personally in your career .
Be confident You don ’ t need to know all the answers . What you need is to be able to ask the right questions . The industry has its own language . Don ’ t let the terminology used scare you . The simplest questions sometimes lead to the best discussions and insights .
Take risks earlier in your career Put your hand up and get involved in projects outside of your current role . Try different things and get different experiences .
