01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Being consistent no matter what role you are in. If you want to be seen as reliable, be consistent. Also, you don't always have to explain yourself fully to everyone. Not everybody deserves a full explanation. Keep conversations short and sweet when you can.
