Question 2 of 35

If you could serve as a consultant to your younger self, what professional advice would you give yourself?

"I would tell myself to always play to my strong suit and follow my instincts. Early on, I worked with some very go-getter individuals who got me to second guess myself and undermined my confidence. They've since switched careers, and I have flourished in mine, especially with my career satisfaction. So I would consult with my younger self, tell him to trust his instincts, keep doing what feels right for the right reasons, and pursue it regardless of what others say. I would tell him to examine others' intentions the way I do now. I now listen to my instincts and trust my intentions of doing the right thing for the right reasons."
