IMPACT AS A RIPPLE
To thrive in your career is to feel a part of something bigger, to understand that the impact you can have can be seen on many levels.
One individual taking an opportunity to learn a new skill has a ripple effect that spreads a positive impact outwards…. That person’s team is now stronger and is able to bring a new idea to life. This new idea then means the business is in a better position to impact our wider society, environment or marketplace.
It all starts with opportunity.
