Since leaving formal education, the skill that has been most useful in my career has been my ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations. I have always been a quick learner, but the ability to take information in quickly and then apply it has been essential in my career. Additionally, I have become a better problem solver and have learned to think “outside the box” to find solutions to complex problems. I have also developed a better understanding of the importance of networking and maintaining relationships with colleagues and clients, as well as greater self-awareness and the ability to manage my own emotions and behavior in stressful situations.
