Take on challenges head-on. Everyone has failed at some point and everyone will fail again. Just take time to reflect on the failures. It's the only way we can really grow as humans and evolve into the best possible version of ourselves. Having an environment that allows you to fail and learn gracefully is vital to being able to deliver the best possible work we can. This is something I really enjoy in my day-to-day work: I've never felt afraid to ask all my questions, no matter how stupid I felt they were and I was always met with respect and dignity.

Throughout my career I have had obstacles to overcome, sometimes I didn't succeed but I would use this to learn more and try again. I have learnt that the phrase 'try, try and try again' is real. I always have looked at where I want to be and developed a plan to get there, sometimes I have detoured from the route but that's ok, as long as I make it in the end. Believing I will drives me forward.

I have never experienced a colleague saying "no", when I reached out for help, because I didn't understand or know something or had difficulties managing my work. We are all one big team, and everyone keeps looking out for each other, which is something I really missed at my last workplace. Also I feel comfortable really showing myself the way I am. I do not have to act up a persona, to fit the company, but can really be myself, as well as the colleagues can be themselves. Don't put up an act and present yourselves the way you are. You won't regret showing your true colors.
