I’ve never gone out of my way to learn new skills but somehow life keeps throwing me into situations that require them! After volunteering to organise a large sauna festival, I had to unexpectedly take over the marketing as well. I had serious time constraints, and it was a case of ‘sink or swim.’ Happily, I swam! The festival was a huge success with lots of attendees. I believe learning new skills keeps me feeling alive and brings personal and mental growth.
