Some of the best steps forward in a career are those that make you realise how far you’ve already come. It’s not always the case that looking back is an act lost in hopeless nostalgia.

Casting your mind back can help spread your arms in gratitude.

A trip to a company I was once a student intern with now played host to me as an academic discussing the same eye-opening adventure, the same transformative career step, with the next generation.

Where are those milestones that enable you to reflect gratefully on coming full circle?
