Skills
Yes, focus on communication, from verbal and written, to persuassion and presentation. Worked on my design skills to be better than ever, and worked on my network growth.

I was lucky enough to be the lead on some of the biggest events in the UK. For example lead the sales and enablement team, which I was given complete freedom and choose whom I wanted to work in my team, I was also given freedom to construct social posts that were sent on social media under the companies name.
