I have always had a passion for customer service and helping people with their needs analysis, whether it's their account structure or investment options, and now buying homes.

2. Show Up! Being an active participant in your organization is a great way to meet new people, gain a better understanding of your industry, and learn what to do—and what not to do—when the opportunity for a leadership role arises in the future.

3. Look for Gaps and Be the One to Fill Them! What is your unique gift? How can you use your strengths to benefit others? Recognize what you do well and help solve problems within the organization using your abilities.
