This week, our midweek interview victim is Sarah Winters, director of leisure sales for North Lake Tahoe Chamber/CVB/Resort Association. And boy, is that a mouthful.
The challenge for the industry is…
Keeping up with the evolving trends of travel in every market.
The things I like about my job…
I can’t say it loud enough, I love my job. I love the opportunity to work within an industry that fuels my number one passion in life, travel.
The best thing about my job is re-experiencing North Lake Tahoe each time we touch a new visitor. To see the magic again through their eyes, makes it well worth it.
And the frustration is…
Finding balance when you are on the road too often.
If I didn’t work in travel I would be…
An entrepreneur, owning my own business has always been a dream of mine.
Favourite airline?
Jetblue – they make travelling in the US easy! More room, more entertainment and better cancellation policies.
My proudest moment was…
Professionally, it was becoming a Director of Sales by the time I turned 30.
The naughtiest thing I ever did was…
Hmm, even if I could remember, I can’t say I would share!
I try to relax by…
Being in nature – I love walking out my front door and exploring all Tahoe has to offer.
The last time I feared for my life was…
Running off the runway at Denver International Airport, but hey at least we made the news!
If I can, I always try to avoid…
Anything stressful, the best part of living and working in North Lake Tahoe is the stress-free lifestyle.
I really wish I had…
More energy – I need way too much sleep to function!
The best advice I’ve ever received was…
Always have compassion for others as you never know their struggle.
I don’t understand why people…
Are scared of change.
My greatest weakness is…
Taking on other people’s burdens.
And my greatest strength is…
The ability to create long-lasting meaningful relationships.
If I won a $1 million lottery (aside from travelling), I would…
Take care of my family…boring, but you said aside from travelling!
If I was prime minister I would…
Try to make the world a better place for all our kids.
I’ve always wanted to travel to…
Croatia.
My favourite holiday was…
Backpacking New Zealand for three months – there is nothing more freeing than a solo trip!
