“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will be always challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful!” Mark Victor Hansen “Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness.” Oprah 👸🏼💪🏻❤️🏒🥅 #confidence #courage #goforit #believeinyourself #youcandoit #steppingstone #getstartednow #markvictorhansen #oprah #quotes #tikhonovtrainingcamp #tikhonovstyle #tikhonov #copywrighttikhonovtrainingcamphockeytiki #finland #lake #trees #snow #peace #calm #happiness #positivevibes #currentmood #determined #iwillsucceed (at Haymarket Iceplex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkMI8XOOb6M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Plant of the Day

Monday 28 November 2022

The autumn colour of Liquidambar styraciflua 'Worplesdon' (sweet gum) is enhanced by sunshine. The tree has lobed leaves, which are similar to that of Acer (maple) species but the leaves are alternately positioned on the branches rather than opposite.

The Indispensable Lessons I Learned from Working in Retail

Shaina Tranquilino

February 4, 2024

Transitioning from full-time retail work to a career as an educational assistant at a school was undoubtedly a significant change for me. However, even with my reduced hours in retail, I quickly realized that the valuable lessons learned during my years of working in customer service continue to shape and enhance my professional growth. In this blog post, I will delve into how my background in retail has proven to be an invaluable asset in my current role and beyond.

1. Effective Communication Skills:

One of the key takeaways from my retail experience is the ability to communicate effectively. Whether it's interacting with customers or collaborating with colleagues, strong communication skills are crucial. My time in retail taught me how to listen actively, empathize with others' concerns, and express myself clearly and concisely – all traits that have been invaluable when assisting students with their unique needs and facilitating effective teamwork among educators.

2. Adaptability and Resilience:

Working in retail often meant dealing with unpredictable situations and challenging customers. This environment forced me to learn how to adapt swiftly while maintaining composure under pressure. These skills have proved essential when faced with unexpected situations within the school setting, such as handling emergencies or adapting lesson plans on short notice. The resilience developed through countless encounters with demanding customers has helped me remain calm and focused during high-stress moments.

3. Customer Service Excellence:

Customer service lies at the heart of any successful business, including schools, where parents and students are our valued "customers." My previous retail experience ingrained in me the importance of providing exceptional service by going above and beyond expectations. This mindset now translates into ensuring that every interaction I have within the school community is characterized by attentiveness, understanding, and dedication.

4. Problem-solving Abilities:

Retail work constantly presents challenges that require creative problem-solving skills. From resolving conflicts between customers to finding alternative solutions when faced with product shortages, I honed my ability to think on my feet and find practical resolutions. These problem-solving skills are transferable to my role as an educational assistant and other areas of my life, where I encounter various obstacles daily, such as addressing behavioral issues or adapting teaching approaches to accommodate diverse learners.

5. Time Management:

One of the most valuable lessons from working in retail is understanding how vital efficient time management is. Balancing multiple responsibilities simultaneously while adhering to strict deadlines is a skill developed through years of organizing inventory, handling customer requests promptly, and managing shifts effectively. This proficiency has proven invaluable in juggling the demands of both my school job and part-time retail position without compromising quality or effectiveness in either.

While transitioning from full-time retail work to a career in education was a significant shift for me, it's clear that the experiences gained during my time in retail continue to shape and enhance my professional growth today. From effective communication skills to adaptability, resilience, and problem-solving abilities, the lessons learned have seamlessly integrated into my educational assistant role, providing me with a unique perspective and a well-rounded skill set. Embracing these learnings has not only enriched my interactions with students but also empowered me to excel in various aspects of life beyond the workplace.

Smaller gardens require a little more thought to create a space that is practical and meaningful. Try running your lawn across the centre of the garden to divide your space into thirds and linking with porcelain stepping stone tiles to create a contemporary transition. #theyorkshirecountrygardener #shrubbedup #gardenideas #gardendesign #gardentransformation #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #landscapegardening #smallgarden #smallgardenideas #moderngarden #steppingstones #yourgardenmadeperfect #yourhomemadeperfect #loveyourgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CfOEEh2qOE7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
