The best thing you can do in business is to back yourself, says Spark's Digital First general manager Anna Curzon.
Waikato-born Curzon says this is the best advice she has been given, particularly in an often male-dominated industry where she said it could be difficult speaking up.
"You need to know who you are and to back yourself," Curzon said. " All the really smart money is on the people with diverse views being celebrated in organisations.
"That's how we're going to get the best outcomes for our customers and shareholders and the communities."
