Opening Doors

Creating Space Project

Jill Asquith runs her own business in recruitment and employment.

She started from her bedroom, just looking to make an income. Within a couple of months, she moved from being a sole trader to being a company.

Two years later, her business works with a lot of big corporations. They have an Indigenous division where they focus on pre-employment and Indigenous participation.

Jill talks about the importance of creating opportunities, not just for herself, but for others too. She talks, as well, about how you deal with failure and stay focused on your dreams.

Jill's attitude provides fabulous insight into a growth mindset, and into the importance of hope and courage in pursuing challenges in life.

"I’ve just got this belief that it’s going to happen and I’ve just got this hope that some way I will work out how it’s going to go or how it’s going to happen."
