"I used to experience that early on in my career--feeling like I wasn't recognized for my contributions. But, now I realize if I want to be heard out, it's up to me to communicate my vision and be assertive in my efforts to be heard out. This way, I ensure whatever I bring to the table is my best and communicated to the best of my ability. I can't blame others for not sharing my vision when I'm incapable of illustrating that vision. If it gets shelved, I learn what I can from the experience and move on. Often, the sheer feeling of rejection is the only setback because that feeling can paralyze you and keep you from moving forward. I like to think I'm past that, but everyone thinks they're ready until they're not. Who knows what the future holds?"
