Yes She Can - Role Model

I was contacted by #YesSheCan and asked if they could interview me for their blog and make me one of their official ‘Role Models’. Sharing my story I covered my inspirations, career path and advice to females looking to enter into the world of self-employment.

One of #YesSheCan’s mantras is “if you can’t see it, you can’t be it”.  IN THEIR WORDS: We have some amazingly talented and successful women featured on #YesSheCan but we recognise we aren’t representative enough.

We have taken the decision to showcase Women (and men) of Colour separately to give even more prominence to these stories.

We have experienced various amounts of privilege and after reading, listening and learning we recognise that we need to actively give a platform so that EVERYONE feels included and inspired.

No matter what’s holding you back, though, the fact remains that if you don’t network, your competitors almost certainly will. So, before you head into the fray, here’s a quick rundown of networking gaffes you definitely shouldn’t make – which will hopefully give you a clearer idea of what you should do!
