Amii talked with me about the importance of taking ownership of your career development and being self-reliant, she said: "There's no question I believe in radical self-reliance and because no one's looking out for your career, for you. You may be lucky to have a mentor or a sponsor that's fabulous but I can tell you it doesn't last forever … and you really have to rely on yourself and you have to ask the right questions and you have to be really aligned with your team and be thinking okay what's the next thing I need to be doing to be five years ahead of the curve to be a valued non-expendable resource".
