On this episode we hear from Frauke. Her opening included 'living out my passion in hospitality' and she shares with us how. Educated in Germany she worked in Switzerland and then London, where she met someone working in Bahrain. And that conversation initiated her career in the Middle East, which included Bahrain, Qatar and now in the UAE. She shares with us the culture shock she experiences when she first arrived from shared accommodation, where she can walk, how to dress and the transientness of the destination. She has spent most of her career in operations, spent some time in learning and development, owner relations, even EXPO 2020 but her heart is in operations. She took on her first GM role when she moved to Dubai. Throughout her career she has been motivated by how she can learn more and develop further, and saying yes to the opportunities that came her way. She talks about finding her tribe, support network for your career and especially for women struggling with imposter syndrome.
