\u201cIt\u2019s the remix to ignition,<\/em> coronavirus edition.<\/em> I miss all my friends, and can\u2019t get out of the kitchen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above musical rendition is something I firmly believe a majority of the world\u2019s population uttered at one point or another following the unprecedented global crisis known as the pandemic<\/a>. Like so many others, I too was economically affected.  It is a stark reminder that, perhaps we often take things for granted. Nonetheless, where there are obstacles – there are an equal amount of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a difference a year makes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have recently celebrated my one-year anniversary as a member of the Taylor Root team! I am resoundingly proud of what our team has accomplished during the crisis and genuinely believe that we are more capable than ever of pushing forward and scaling new heights.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating this momentous occasion is a bit of a personal milestone, which I would not have achieved without the assistance of my colleagues: these incredibly talented people are nothing short of a world class team and genuinely the best at what they do. Starting a new position for any professional across the globe is both a highly stressful and immensely rewarding experience. 
Regardless of your current professional status, it is crucial to continually put yourself out there and evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we do this?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Networking. Networking Networking! This is not only key to your professional growth but ensures that you are up to date on current market trends and insights. DO NOT SLACK ON THIS. Make an effort to update your LinkedIn at least once a month, if not weekly. Aim to attend webinars and industry events several times a year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By doing this, you are constantly making yourself both available and appealing to potentially worldwide markets. Due to recent events, many professionals have either been forced to work from home or have embraced their new roles as a remote specialist. Despite the limited face-to-face connections, there is a debate to be had that we all are now better linked to one another, thanks in no small part to social media and growing communication technology. At Taylor Root I feel we do this particularly well and it has certainly allowed me connect more with my colleagues outside of the UK in a way that would have not been possible before. We have seen many colleagues mobilise at the SR Group and move to other countries because of this connection and insight into other colleagues lives internationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is so easy to get sucked into the everyday of work and not stay connected to your industry and the people within it. Always remember to continue to build your professional network whilst also developing your own brand. This is important for several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
