She's definitely an inspirational Pink Expert, read on and feel the glow!
1. What talent do you naturally have that makes you successful?
Tenacity – in fact I'm like a dog with a bone and often don’t know when to give up even when something appears a lost cause! As a young child, if I was determined enough to do something, I couldn’t let go and went from not being able to swim, to swimming 5km in 6 weeks – I was there at the outdoor pool every day no matter how cold and wet it was! There is always a solution, it just means if something doesn’t work, you need to try a different way until you achieve the solution you want.
2. When did you first realise that talent was going to help you and how do you use it?
I first realised when I was working for a software company and when other people said to customers that something couldn’t be done, I found I could come up with a solution if I stuck at it for long enough and looked at the problem from different angles. This has certainly come in useful with the Tiny Box Company as I had no background in packaging and no contacts and had to come up with solutions quickly about a subject I knew nothing about. I have since learnt very quickly!
