I

{{00:00:08}}
think what helped me the most is just
getting out of my own comfort zone.

{{00:00:13}}
Usually growth only happens when
you get out of your comfort zone.

{{00:00:17}}
And this is something you
really need to prioritize.

{{00:00:20}}
Also, especially when it's painful, right?

{{00:00:24}}
Growth never starts when You're at ease.

{{00:00:28}}
So really go for it
and invest in yourself.

{{00:00:34}}
So I guess it's going to sound really
basic, but I'd say the tool I probably

{{00:00:37}}
use the most is LinkedIn, because
the vast majority of the stuff that

{{00:00:41}}
I'm doing is working with people.

{{00:00:42}}
And that's the best way I found
in terms of getting in touch with

{{00:00:44}}
them, as well as events like this.

{{00:00:47}}
So I think I would say
use your social networks.

{{00:00:49}}
LinkedIn is great.

{{00:00:51}}
take advantage of networking at events.

{{00:00:54}}
That's how I've done most of mine.

{{00:00:56}}
So when I think about tools within
my own career and what's allowed me

{{00:01:00}}
to progress one thing that's really
opened my eyes is just the concept of

{{00:01:04}}
personal branding and being able to
show everybody what your mission is to

{{00:01:08}}
make a difference within this industry.

{{00:01:10}}
And I think especially for marginalized
groups, it's really, important that

{{00:01:14}}
we talk about that self promotion,
that self awareness, that ability to

{{00:01:18}}
showcase what your personal brand is
and what you're trying to do that's

{{00:01:21}}
different within the workplace.

{{00:01:23}}
Myself, this was a massive career turning
point to me when I just accepted that

{{00:01:28}}
this was going to be part of my job.

{{00:01:30}}
And it wasn't that I was egotistically
self promoting, it was that I

{{00:01:34}}
was showing the world that what
I wanted to do was to celebrate

{{00:01:37}}
different people within the industry.

{{00:01:39}}
When I realized the mission behind
that, the value behind that, and

{{00:01:43}}
what I was going to do to change
and invest in the industry, I

{{00:01:45}}
was able to go ahead with them.
