Getting the chance to run a project not long after starting a LBG was a big moment for myself. It showed I was trusted and seen as able to take this project on. It’s been a great way to learn fast and build connections within the company. It's enabled me to really build on my communication and stakeholder management and also allowed me to take that leap into doing something on my own.

I always think that most of the time we create our own insecurity. For example, ff you ever feel like you have impostor syndrome, just ask yourself, what are the odds of you really being here by mistake? Of everyone else being much better than you? They're always low and they're is always going to be someone else in a similar situation to you. As another example, if you apply for a job and get a rejection, where only 5% of applicants pass, there is no reason to bring yourself down, 95% of people will be in your same situation. The odds of passing were low but the only way to beat those odds is trying again, and 5% is much better than 0. Many use realism to be negative but I believe it is the best way to have a positive attitude and keep going!
