01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

The best career advice I ever received was to raise my hand. I was someone who maybe was always nervous or shy initially... when my manager let me know, you know, all you have to do is raise your hand. The least they could say is no. But always raise your hand, no matter what space you're in.
