How taking calculated risks can come with great rewards

Part of Careers

Going out of your comfort zone can be scary, but as long as you think things through before you take a risk, it can be incredibly rewarding.

Top tips to take away

  • Consider the new things you might need to do and to learn in order to progress. If something is new to you, or outside of your usual remit, then weigh the situation up and learn more before diving in
  • Learn from mistakes you’ve made and risks you've taken in the past
  • You’ll know if it’s appropriate to take a risk if you really sit down and consider the outcomes and possible consequences. Thinking things through can help prevent things going wrong
  • Make it a calculated risk – it could lead to some great results.
