  1. \n\n \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Day 20<\/span>\n <\/span>\n \n
    \n
    \n

    Leading my own workshop<\/h3>\n \n

    \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Location: <\/span>\n Review Day workshop room <\/p>\n \n

    \u201cThis was my first Review Day, having rejoined the business after two years working in the fashion sourcing industry in Hong Kong. I ran a session sharing my knowledge of how retailers in the market and sourcing functions need to join up to unlock cost, speed and resilience in an industry with a long lead time. I felt glad to have rejoined a business full of bright minds, who are interested in learning about different parts of the value chain and different cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

  2. \n\n \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Day 52<\/span>\n <\/span>\n \n
    \n
    \n

    Exploring new cultures<\/h3>\n \n

    \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Location: <\/span>\n Team dinner in a European city <\/p>\n \n

    \u201cI was on a project travelling to a fashion client headquartered in a European city. It had been challenging being away from home. We had a team dinner, with local seafood and dishes. Chatting to everyone gave me an appreciation for what the job offers: an exposure to different cultures, different people, and lifelong learnings as well as the interesting work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

  3. \n\n \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Day 80<\/span>\n <\/span>\n \n
    \n
    \n

    Knowing my work makes a difference<\/h3>\n \n

    \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Location: <\/span>\n On client site <\/p>\n \n

    \u201cEvery day, I get to see the real impact our work can have on people, but one project stands out during my first year. I was working on improving the outcomes of the children\u2019s social care system and we were conducting interviews. I remember a client sharing the difficulties of working in children\u2019s social care and what the current outcomes of children in care looked like. Hearing it from them firsthand, made it clear to me how the project would carry a direct impact and improvement on society.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

  4. \n\n \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Day 180<\/span>\n <\/span>\n \n
    \n
    \n

    Feeling valued and energized<\/h3>\n \n

    \n \n \n<\/svg>\n Location: <\/span>\n On the train home <\/p>\n \n

    \u201cAt the end of the week, I received shoutouts from my team on the work I'd done as part of the project. They saw how I\u2019d gone above and beyond to model and then stress test our design. We had our "wins of the week" call and I took screenshots of what the team had said to add to my development folder. It had been a long week, but I felt so energized and was amazing to see my contributions were being recognized by everybody involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ol>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n \n\n\n
