1. Don’t be afraid to ask for a plum assignment

2. Find a sponsor with influence who will really advocate for your visibly

3. Give yourself the opportunity to learn a new job and take risks

4. Nail down your pitch, repeat it and believe in it

5. Be honest about what you would bring to the boardroom and how you would bring it

6. When you find an opportunity approach with confidence and don’t second guess yourself

7. Network, network network. Be strategic.
