Mini Takeaways

#AppAdvice: What is a useful app or platform that has helped you grow in your career?

• Lynda
• Udacity

#LearnThatTerm: What does the term imposter syndrome mean to you?

I think it’s the little things - the moments where you could have gotten an opportunity but you didn’t say anything because you didn’t believe in yourself. But I’ve been working on it - knowing it’s okay to be wrong - I think it helps to realize that the way to learn is making mistakes and getting it wrong so you can then get it right.
