Why constant challenge and never allowing yourself to get too comfortable are keys for ahead, according to Java Republic's Grace O'Shaughnessy.
After 12 years with the business and over ten as its managing director, she says she’s constantly looking to be challenged.
A job with Lir Chocolates followed but after a few years the idea of pushing herself further came up again.“I would always have considered myself a high achiever in my studies, in my approach to things. Grace saw it as a period of opportunity and says she kept her head down, working to grow the team and the company’s potential in the market.In the past few years, with the worst of the crash over, new challenges have presented themselves.
Grace says that while she’s surrounded by lots of men in work, sexism has never been an issue for her because she simply hasn’t let it be. “Even looking at the whole gender thing at the moment, I think we can get a bit caught up in the quotas but whether you’re male or female you have the right to sit at the table and not because your gender prescribes it.”That’s not to say she’s done it all on her own.She says that anyone is business has the right to ask for a mentor, as she did when she became MD with Java Republic.
“Sometimes I do question myself – have I the capability? Then you do something, come out the other side and say, what was I worried about?She reckons that pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is key to long-term success in your career.
