GOLF
Also, my career highlight, working at the 2018 Open at Carnoustie as part of the championship agronomy team, played a vital role in my life evaluations. It really highlighted to me that I am happiest when working as part of a team, something 10-year-old me would be ecstatic about.
I focused my attention on education that would get me back to within a team, that was both operational and project management. Then things happened that were on my path, the opportunity to work for Leicester City arose and, now I’m here, Noordwijske Golf Club, excited for the next chapter in my life.
It must be a lot, moving to a new country, a new role and a new language. How do you keep a clear mind?
It can be, but I try to implement everything I have spoken about already. I find getting my trainers on and running is my place to clear my mind. I come up with some of my best ideas and make the clearest decisions when I run. I usually have to slow down for a few minutes to take notes about my thoughts mid run, because they are
gone when I’m home and showered.
You seem very happy in your current role at Noordwijkse. How is it settling in again, how is the language difference and are you learning Dutch?
Yes, I am happy here in Noordwijkse. The team here have been excellent, very welcoming, helpful and hard working. Likewise, the membership and other staff have welcomed me with open arms (not literally) and I am excited to see what we can do in the future. When moving abroad, it’s not like what people say… you don’t just “pick up” the language and you don’t just settle-in. I learnt that from my time in Belgium. Yes, I’m trying to learn Dutch, but it takes more than just hearing it. If you really want somewhere to feel like home, you need to put in the effort to learn the language. That means going out of your way to practice what you do know (difficult at the moment), and actively try and learn more.
Same goes for settling in, you need to put effort in. Covid is having a restriction on that at the moment but it won’t be forever, and it just means I need to be creative in ways of getting to know people.
