AW: How have you had to change the way you carry out your roles as a mother and a professional this year?
NW: There have been no major changes to the way I have had to carry out my roles this year; however, I would have to say I have had to be more proactive than usual as a mother and a professional. I have had to anticipate the effects of certain impacts which may arise and make decisions on how to address if and when they arise. I have had to consider the impacts on the individual lives of my team members, therefore our place of work remained a place where we all wanted to learn and perform at our best. Collectively, I believe we have all had to adapt in many ways, but not necessarily change.
AW: What is your motivation for giving your best both at home and at work?
NW: I have a responsibility to my family, my team, my company and brand, therefore I have had to continue full speed ahead without any regrets. I accept the changes as they come and make the most of them with the knowledge that life is constantly evolving. They are my constant motivation to operate at my best and to give all my efforts 100 per cent.
AW: What is your number one attribute that you want your children to emulate?
NW: I want my children to know that nothing is impossible as whatever our minds can conceive and we put in the necessary action, we can and will achieve.
