It's one of those things that maybe people don't focus on or neglect, and I'd say my whole career has been based on network. 

People want to work with people that they know, people that they trust, and particularly for this role, I wouldn't have got it if I hadn't invested in my network. 

And I think the other thing is having a trusted network which goes beyond the work realm. So, you know, it might be a mentor, absolutely, but also investing in people which maybe aren't in the same industry as you but have a similar role, have a different viewpoint. And I think being open to different points of view makes a massive difference in regards to how you approach your role.
