Talking to regional woman in leadership Deb Allan, Manager of Mackay Manufacturing Hub
In this episode, Kylah Morrison speaks with Deb Allan, Manager of Mackay Manufacturing Hub and a regional woman in leadership.
Here are some key takeaways from the episode:
It's not about the technical skills we make, just have the ability to listen to people and to be able to connect them with the people they need to be connected with.
It's okay to be you and make a difference when it comes to impostor syndrome. If you can actually look inside what it is you want, and set those goals and find those opportunities to being prepared for them, then that's where the magic really is.
Keep trying new things. Because you just don't know what's gonna click.
Reflect on things that you really enjoyed. Reflect on your past experiences and think about where in you've done things that has given you so much energy.
Try to focus on how you will leverage more on opportunities. Find happiness when you leverage your strengths against the challenges and that's where the energy comes.
It's very powerful if you have someone who believes in you before you believe in yourself.
