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.

One of the most exciting things about Trading is you get to see the result of the actions and strategies you implement really quickly. It is always really satisfying to see sales improve off the back of decisions you made and being able to see the instant benefit that brings to the bottom line of the business. Trading also gives you the chance to try new things and take different approaches. No day is the same, and you can take many different actions to try and improve sales, so seeing which ones work the best and which don't means you learn new things quickly.

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.

Take on challenges head-on. Everyone has failed at some point and everyone will fail again. Just take time to reflect on the failures. It's the only way we can really grow as humans and evolve into the best possible version of ourselves. Having an environment that allows you to fail and learn gracefully is vital to being able to deliver the best possible work we can. This is something I really enjoy in my day-to-day work: I've never felt afraid to ask all my questions, no matter how stupid I felt they were and I was always met with respect and dignity.

Working abroad was a huge step, working at sea was an even bigger one. I had moments at the start, where I thought I would never pass my STCW course (sea safety, fire fighting etc, a course that is required to work at sea) I ended up having to do the course 3 times throughout my career as it has to be renewed every 5 years. I never thought at the start of my career at sea that I would become an actual uniform wearing officer. What I mean by this is an officer in a white uniform with gold stripes (Epaulettes) on my shoulders - but I did when I became the Front Office manager onboard Thomson Spirit, what a massive learning curve I did it!
