To travel fast go alone, to travel far go together
Everyone is on a journey; maybe struggling, maybe rocking it, probably both
Every client organisation has its own peculiarities, it is what makes working for them interesting
You can win or lose business for reasons within domains you did not even know existed
For everything you do, remember there are people who can do it better than you
Small personal kindnesses are remembered for months and years, sometimes decades
Over delivering (sometimes!) is good, it can make you feel great about yourself too
Doing something is far more impressive than talking about something
Asking difficult questions is easy
Saying no is fine, but make sure you explain why and offer a path to yes

These are my top-of-mind thoughts (platitudes!) jotted down in 4 minutes when reflecting on my journey, other colleagues I'm sure will have very different thoughts.
