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.

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.

The most important thing I have learnt working at TUI is the importance of being genuine and bringing your personality to work - it makes you feel a lot better and as everyone is treated as an individual and allows teammates to understand what works best for you. TUI as a company is incredibly supportive of this as well, and it helps to make you feel like you belong in the team and makes it more than just work.

Throughout my career I have had obstacles to overcome, sometimes I didn't succeed but I would use this to learn more and try again. I have learnt that the phrase 'try, try and try again' is real. I always have looked at where I want to be and developed a plan to get there, sometimes I have detoured from the route but that's ok, as long as I make it in the end. Believing I will drives me forward.

I firmly believe in the value of learning and growth. For me, saying "I don't know" isn't a conclusion—it's an invitation to explore and understand. This mindset, deeply rooted in my upbringing, comes from my father, who taught us that curiosity and persistence are essential traits. Whether it’s acquiring a new skill, trying out a new recipe, or mastering a tool in Word, I view learning as an ongoing journey that enriches both personal and professional life. Every new piece of knowledge adds value, equipping me to tackle challenges creatively and with confidence. To me, learning is not optional—it’s a lifelong pursuit that continuously opens doors.
