Very applicable, even outside of design field. Starting with the introspection of self and the defining interests and competencies.

Thank you Julie, what a great article!

I relate to the story during my time at Absa Bank where I discovered that I should be in Product Management. I launched an investment management system that was considered a failed project, but it wasn`t part of my job at the time. I was really surprised to receive an Award from Absa Business Bank, for extraordinary effort. I was just doing what I liked doing: solving a problem.

It boosted my confidence into this line of work.

Thanks so much for this article, Julie. As someone in a mid-level role, it really resonates with me. When I first started out, I too would try to tick all the boxes. I've only recently realized the power of sharing your key strengths and what makes you different! Good luck with your matchmaking :)
