Ten minutes with Emma
01What do you attribute your success to?
For my career, it's not defined by where you start. It's defined by your willingness to keep learning and moving forward. Along my journey, every challenge carries an opportunity to grow. I never underestimated what a consistent offer can achieve over time. What motivates me is just overcoming the challenges that are put on you, and you will have a surprise of what life gives to you. If you have these kind of ambitions and passion about doing something until it gets to succeed, you will get there.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women would be, don't wait until you feel ready. Most leadership opportunities come before you feel fully prepared. Be willing to make mistakes and keep moving. Confidence is not something that you start with, it's something you build through action.
