01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Having confidence is the most important thing. If you're in a room, you're meant to be there. Even if you have to fake it, channel your inner strength, use a stern voice, and feel empowered when you speak. Men will take you seriously if you believe in yourself. Fake it till you make it - pretend you're not anxious or scared, and that confidence builds over time.
