Top Insider Advice

Always try to do what you enjoy the most, and have fun while doing it. Be true to your principles and values, and always stay true to yourselves. Don't be afraid to try, and above all, don't be afraid to make mistakes. Always be genuine, and try to evaluate situations from various perspectives. Our reality and preferences may not always be the best for the company and the team, and we shouldn't let that discourage us or make us give up.

What do you like about your job and the company?

Witnessing the development and success of others is deeply rewarding. It provides a sense of accomplishment and purpose, knowing that my support and guidance contribute to their growth and achievements. By focusing on observing and nurturing growth, I can help individuals realize their potential, enhance their skills, and achieve their goals. This empowerment not only benefits them personally but also contributes to the overall success of the team or organization. Monitoring people’s growth allows me to identify areas where they excel and areas where they may need additional support. This continuous feedback loop helps in refining development strategies, setting appropriate goals, and fostering an environment of ongoing improvement. Observing and supporting growth fosters stronger relationships. It builds trust and respect, as people feel valued and supported in their professional journey. Strong relationships enhance team cohesion and collaboration. As a leader, my ability to guide and support others is crucial. Focusing on people’s growth helps me develop my leadership skills, improve my approach to mentorship, and create a positive impact on the team's dynamics and performance. Investing in the growth of individuals contributes to the long-term success of the organization. As people develop their skills and advance in their careers, they bring increased expertise and innovation to the team, driving collective success and progress.

The team consists of individuals with a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds. This diversity brings different perspectives and approaches to the table, which can be both a strength and a challenge. Coordinating these varied viewpoints into a cohesive action plan requires careful management and clear communication. Many team members are relatively new and may lack experience. This inexperience can affect their confidence and effectiveness in executing tasks. Providing guidance, mentorship, and support is crucial to help them develop the necessary skills and adapt to their roles. The team is composed of individuals from various cultural backgrounds. Each culture has its own norms and expectations, which can impact communication styles, work habits, and team dynamics. Navigating these cultural differences requires sensitivity and adaptability to ensure that all team members feel respected and included. Managing a large team adds another layer of complexity. Coordinating efforts, ensuring effective communication, and keeping everyone aligned with the team's goals can be challenging. Implementing efficient processes and fostering a collaborative environment are essential to managing a large group successfully.

Top Insider Advice

In a world where conformity often feels like the norm, your authenticity is your greatest strength. Staying true to yourself is not just important, it's your superpower. When you bring your true authentic self to work each day, you contribute to a diverse and vibrant team culture where everyone's unique strengths and perspectives are celebrated. Being true to yourself means embracing your values, passions, and quirks without fear of judgement. It means speaking up with honesty and integrity, even when it's difficult. When you stay true to who you are, you inspire others to do the same, fostering a culture of trust and openness. We value authenticity not only because it makes our workplace more enjoyable and fulfilling but also because it drives innovation and creativity. When team members feel empowered to express themselves authentically, they bring fresh ideas and perspectives to the table, sparking creativity and driving us forward. Moreover, authenticity is contagious. When you lead by example and show up as your authentic self, you encourage others to do the same. This creates a ripple effect throughout the organisation, strengthening bonds between team members and fostering a sense of belonging. Remember that your authenticity is not just welcomed – it's celebrated. Come As You Are and bring your whole self to work, and together, we'll unleash our collective superpower, driving success and making a positive impact in everything we do.

I'm the sort of person that says "go for it" and "what's the worst that can happen?" I struggled for years not being able to get my foot in the (creative) door. I wound up managing a kitchen for a large pub chain - which is an absolutely fine career, but it simply wasn't for me. I started to apply to every role and opportunity that could offer me some experience to add to my CV - this included assisting photographers hang their work for upcoming exhibitions and photographing charity events for PR assets - all in my spare time. All of this rather random experience allowed me to start understanding which avenues I'd like to explore for my career. That career ended up beginning at TUI and i've never looked back.
