What is one habit that has helped you succeed?

I have always been curious and asked questions. I always asked to move around within the company and see other segments of the business. I actually want to learn, grow and dig in to my role, thus providing value and personal growth.

Especially for women, confidence comes from knowledge, experience and being able to speak to a wide variety of areas within the business. I not only want to personally succeed, but I want to give lift to those around me.
