• You’ll become a whiz at PowerPoint but keep looking out for a better way to visualise information.
• You will pride yourself in being an effective communicator and storyteller.
• You know how to digest complex information and make it sing.
• You already love writing and expressing fresh opinions and will become excited at presenting new ideas to clients.
