Women ’ s History Month featured leader
The American Financial Services Association celebrated Women ’ s History Month featuring outstanding female leaders in the consumer credit industry . The association profiled Prestige Financial ’ s Heather Wybrow , senior vice president of servicing . Heather was featured on the AFSA ’ s website along with Q & A insights from her career :
What important lesson have you learned during your career ?
Say yes to opportunities that make you uncomfortable as often as possible , especially when you don ’ t think you are ready ; if you wait , the opportunity will no longer have enough room for failure and growth .
Was there a mentor who provided great insight in your early career ?
When I first started at Prestige ,
I joined a team led by an amazing woman named Jordan Robles . She believed in me from the beginning and helped push me to see my potential . She encouraged me to apply for opportunities and helped me learn from the disappointment of not getting those first several promotions .
What do you wish the you of today could have told the younger you ?
Success is not linear , nor is it a solo activity . You will never be good at everything , so be realistic about your strengths and bring people up with you who have talents you don ’ t have . Network , network , network ! You will need them , and they will need you . Cultivate and nurture your network .
