What has been your most notable rebel accomplishment or experience?
On more than one occasion, saying ‘Enough’. When you start to feel a little bit of your soul dying every morning when you walk into the office, just say ‘enough’. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have another job to go to, or frankly any idea of what comes next. You are worth more, and life is too short to spend it with people or in organisations that will never ‘get you’.
When did you first realize that you are a rebel?
Since I was six! I have always felt different, no one could ever quite put me into a box. I’m quite comfortable in many roles, and in my younger years was quite happy wearing many different masks. Now the masks are off, but I’ve yet to find a box to contain me!
What advice do you wish someone had given you earlier in your career?
You don’t have to be good at everything. That person next to you is REALLY good at the thing you don’t enjoy. We all have our own gifts to express, so don’t be selfish! Every time you do something for efficiency sake or because you think it’s easier if you just do it, you are taking away the other persons opportunity to grow and shine.

What do you think it’s most important for people to understand about rebels?
