What were your business goals working with the Chamber?
The Chamber has enabled me to network with individuals across different sectors aspiring to be the future leaders within the region. It has supported me in increasing my personal brand, networking skills and leadership.
In terms of people and leadership, a lot of the themes and discussion with my Greater Chambers of Birmingham Mentor centered around core areas such as giving and receiving feedback, growth mindset, personal agility, importance of goals, continuous improvement and awareness around impostor syndrome.
In terms of business performance it has helped to keep me abreast to current technical/sector developments and economic trends and be part of these discussion with other young professionals within the region.
