澳彩开奖结果 alum Anthony Theofanidis was originally nervous to even apply to one of our programs. 鈥淚 had this fear and initial doubts about not being suitable or academic enough,鈥� he says. 鈥淭his probably sat on my mind for 12 months.鈥�
But when he applied and was accepted, he describes the experience as 鈥渟uper special鈥�. 鈥淭he day I got the phone call really transformed my confidence in going for things,鈥� he says.
Since completing Structuring for Success with 澳彩开奖结果, Anthony has continued to invest in his personal development and his confidence has grown even further. He was recently accepted into the Commonwealth100 program to help strengthen links between diverse regions and individuals, joining an elite group of international-focused young leaders.
鈥淚t鈥檚 just a small example of the continuous cycle of improvement 澳彩开奖结果 initiates for you,鈥� he says
We sat down (virtually) with Anthony to get his thoughts on working remotely and starting your own business, as well as his advice for other young people looking to get started.
So after 澳彩开奖结果, how did you get started in the world of entrepreneurship?
Initially, a friend who I met through 澳彩开奖结果 told me to leave my regular job and come help him launch his startup from his living room. The leap was super nerve-racking and felt potentially dangerous. However, something deep down inside me told me to do it.
What skills and capabilities do you think are most needed for today鈥檚 ever-changing job market?
Covid-19 has taught us all that businesses must be ready to deploy a new strategy within a matter of days. People are very much the same. We need to be agile, see forward, and react quickly but rationally. The world needs confident leaders who will not be afraid to get creative with new solutions to reinvent the way we do business.
Resilience is everything. If you fail, you are only better positioned to capitalise on the next opportunity out there.
