What would you do in a moment of self-pity? Would you instead go along with the pity party or steer yourself away and focus on something else?

Most people would pick the latter option, but there lay our twist. Our guest for today's episode, an amazingly talented manager and leader and the GM/ Managing Director at Currys Business, however, chose the former. In her spectacular career, which included 7 years of working with the e-commerce giant Amazon, Molly Dobson decided to stick with the former option and allowed herself to feel pity whenever things went downhill. For her, accepting herself for everything she is and everything she will be, was and is incredibly important.

In today's episode, she breaks down the amazing professional journey she's had, not stumbling over challenges, choosing to continually improve her skills, and sticking with her ambition even during the most tiring of times.

Molly talks about her interest in analytical learning and curiosity about people's behaviors since she was young and how it matched well into a career and life in retail and fashion. She also gets into the secrets to her inspiring leadership skills, including creating a safe space for your teammates to talk to you and share their concerns with you, the lessons from her tough times and what (if any) about her journey she would go back and change if she could.

A valuable point Molly shared in this conversation that also explains her fantastic choice of companies is the importance of researching the company you are preparing to work with. She shares that if you are in a position to connect with different organizations and have the flexibility of choice, you must first research the companies thoroughly. Upfront research always helps find a workplace that works the best for you. Remember, "you're interviewing a company as much as they're interviewing you."

Key talking points:
● The importance of continuous self-improvement
● The traits of an elite-level leader
● The importance of researching the company you’re planning to work with
● The importance of acknowledging your emotions
