Quote - Talat Yaqoob - “Even if it’s not on the plan, it’s not in the five-year plan or the ten-year plan – and if you’re like me, you probably have one – if it feels good and it feels exciting, give it a try. Especially if it maybe is a little bit uncomfortable. ... It’s something worth learning”
Quote - Lily Greenan - “Find some way to document what you’re doing and to be able to go back now and again and remind yourself that you’ve learned a few things since then … share [with others/future generations] what you’ve done that worked that was successful, and what you did that just landed flat.”
Quote - Pheona Matovu - “I would say be you. If you don’t know who you are, take time to know who you were. Allow yourself to just know yourself and be you. And at this age, it’s something that I am learning still, but it’s a very powerful tool because you don’t have to try and be somebody else.”
Quote - Alison Pickup - “Don’t hurry. Like, I think when you’re young and enthusiastic, you can be very impatient to get on with your career and with achieving big things. But there’s plenty of time and what’s important is to really take time to know what you enjoy, what motivates you, where your skills are and focus on that area.”
