Join Hoda for conversations that boost your career literacy. Pete Robertson shares, “there’s a myth that before you start doing something, you should have all the skills and knowledge first. Actually, very often you learn by doing”. Have you ever taken on something without having all the required skills and knowledge? Aziz Kfoury pushes further, “Don’t be afraid to change roads in the middle of your journey because when you get to know yourself more, and you get to know what makes you more comfortable, what makes you want to develop, it’s alright”. What road are you on right now—and is it still the right one for who you’re becoming? Listen, comment and share your thoughts and experiences.
