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 wasn't the type of student at school who desired to go to university, so I went straight into the world of work. This taught me many valuable skills which helped begin my career and work ethics. It was when I was in my 30's that I realised what career I actually wanted and enrolled myself into university whilst working full time. I then got the study bug and saw that if I really wanted something I could find a way to work towards it and get it. And now at the grand old age of 46 I am coming towards the end of another university honours degree to work towards my next career goal.

Letting your passion shine through, and letting your personality come out in your work is, for me, really important. When you enjoy your work, it is great to let that show as it helps others see that passion, and shows you are motivated and engaged by what you do. I also think it is really important to be open and honest at work at well. Let your manager and colleagues know how you are feeling, and don't be afraid to ask questions - especially in Trading, asking questions is so important in helping you learn and understand the role.

In my world, it's pretty simple. What a tour operator wants to achieve is to sell trips with a quality that results in satisfied and returning customers. Regardless of what role you have within the organization, this must be top of mind in all the work that is done. Within E-commerce, we do this by working data-driven, listening to the customer and always working proactively to deliver what the customer requests. A key to succeeding in this is to always try to see the situation from the customer's point of view.
