Meet the super wander-woman, Anna. She has solo-traveled to almost 50 countries. Get to know her and her exciting adventures.
I am passionate about my work. I am ambitious, driven and results oriented.
What's your job title & how did you get where you are today?
Travel Blogger. I didn't plan to be where I am today! Guess life just happened as I was only doing what I loved which is travelling to new countries and sharing my experiences. It has been a journey of 5 years now and two things that helped me along the way were being consistent and creating quality content in the social media, and the blog.
Tell us about a day at work you'll never forget!
When I was in a remote village in the south of China climbing a mountain alone. Fighting with loads of mosquitoes but ending up with a most spectacular view at the top.
What's your advice about growing a brand or a personal brand?
1. Be consistent
2. Provide quality and value
“Be open to discussion that brings win-win results for both parties”
How do you prepare for negotiation conversations?
1. Understand the campaign concept or your role top to bottom and inside out.
2. Know what they are offering not only the financial benefits but it could be a foot in the door or other reasons that could benefit your career in the long run.
3. Be mentally prepared to let them know what you are bargaining and what you cannot accept. So there is no false expectation.
4. Be open to discussion that brings win-win results for both parties (but also be mentally prepared to let it go if the negotiation goes sour).
What one tip would you tell your younger self about negotiating?
Don't be afraid to have a healthy discussion.
