Female Disruptors: Niki Smirni Of Travelgems On The Three Things You Need To Shake Up Your Industry
“Everything in life is synchronicities. This path was led by them. I’ve been involved in many roles and different career paths which have finally led me to creating a company that is totally aligned with my personal purpose. Let me explain…”
In this interview with Vanessa Morcom for Authority Magazine, a Medium publication, our very own representative of ‘Female Disruptors’ discusses the ‘Three Things You Need To Shake Up Your Industry’.
To be ‘positively disruptive’, Niki indicates that you need to find the perfect balance between care and respect and equate that with what is the best way forward for your company. Niki highlights that emotional intelligence matters in every step of our way.
“My favorite life lesson that not only helps me but also those whom I mentor, is to always be quick to recognize what you do not like as that is what will shed light on what you actually do like. We tend to always question ourselves “what is it that I like to do” when, in reality, the answer lies in what you don’t like doing! And, in the process, the confidence you gain in declaring to yourself and to the world what you do not like (and this can be an action, a quality, a habit) you gain an incredible amount of confidence that drives you forward and towards what you’re meant to be doing.”
Her motto is “Think with your heart, do with your mind now.”
You can join Niki this September in Zermatt, during theIkigai in Nature – Finding Purpose and Fulfillmentretreat, a co-curation with the book’s author Francesc Miralles and Yoga Teacher & Intuitive Healer Kremena Yordanova.
