Fostering a community of collaboration versus competition is so important and often overlooked in our industry. Shared insights and mentorship that drives cumulative success will always have the highest return. 

Supporting one another in our endeavours is key to our individual and collective success. The support that we receive from our networks and communities can determine how far we push ourselves to bring our ideas to fruition, so we need to ensure we’re sharing our experiences, our wisdom, and offering encouragement at every opportunity. 

What is most important for women in any industry is to be bold, be provocative in your thinking, take risks and surround yourself with people that believe in your vision. Success in my mind is where preparation and opportunity meet.
