Throughout my journey, I've picked up some unexpected skills, like graphic design and effective time management. Who knew I’d become a pro at creating visuals for presentations - certainly not me!

What surprising skills have you developed in your work life?

That I’m pretty good at multitasking multiple things which I never used to be, so if I’m on the phone I used to be proper concentrated and couldn’t think of anything else in that moment. Where as now I’ll be in the middle of a task on my PC’s and answer the phone while juggling a conversation there and tasks on my PC. Never thought I’d be able to do like 3 things at the exact same time🤣

Love that! I’ve picked up Canva skills and low-key turned into the team’s unofficial designer. Funny how necessity teaches you more than training ever could.
