Send us Fan Mail What if you could translate the joy of dance into your professional life? Join us at the bustling Melbourne Airport, where we sit down with Kristina Sambaher, State Manager for New South Wales and ACT at Ponant and Paul Gauguin Cruises, as she shares her unique journey with the TIME (Travel Industry Mentor Experience) program. Kristina opens up about her application process, the instant connection with her mentor Alice at the Four Seasons, and how this mentorship experience has been nothing short of transformative. Change is inevitable, but it's how we navigate it that defines us. Kristina reflects on her participation in the Flight Centre Travel Group Emerging Leaders Program in 2017, emphasizing the importance of change for personal and professional growth. With Alice’s mentorship, Kristina found a creative and supportive outlet through their walk-and-talk sessions, which fostered a productive environment. We explore how different settings can influence our work and the invaluable role of a mentor in adapting to new challenges. But it's not all work and no play. We indulge in a nostalgic conversation about our shared love for dance. Kristina, a former ballroom dance instructor with Arthur Murray Dance School, reminisces about her favorite dance style, the jive, that lit up her teenage years. Our discussion spans various dance forms and their significance, with some delightful anecdotes about producing ballroom dance TV shows and even the cultural roots of the tango. This episode is a vibrant mix of mentorship, embracing change, and the joy that comes from our passions.
