Abstract: There is a wealth of opportunity for the water sector to make a larger contribution and not only for the established leaders. Collaboration comes hand in hand with communication. Both are so important for evolving from a Young Water Professional to an Young Water Influencer. You might wonder: “I see all my peers, team leaders, supervisors, people in articles etc. doing all those amazing things - how can I, as YWP have an impact?” With this presentation I want to show how the little things in your own behaviour can help you in your journey.
