This recording is part of our open mic series of five-minute talks that take place at the end of our inspiration sessions.
Our speaker is Megan Brocklehurst Project Coordinator at BRYANT and also a member of our NewGen programme here at Elevate.
Megan gave a powerful talk about creating your own opportunities, sharing her journey into the events industry and how putting herself out there ultimately led to no fewer than four job offers.
She spoke about the importance of persistence, curiosity and making yourself memorable, and how she learned to turn rejection into momentum rather than let it stop her.
As Megan puts it: “Don’t wait for permission. Sometimes the opportunity you’re waiting for is the one you have to create for yourself.”
Notes and takeaways from Megan’s talk can be downloaded HERE.
Introducing Megan is fellow NewGenner Joshua Engele.
