I began the role at the end of November 2019 and fair to say there has never been a dull day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t anticipate then I\u2019d have the heartbreaking experience of closing down a 20 year old iconic tourism business due to the pandemic, or the experience of getting to be part of the incredible team to rebuild it. It\u2019s been a rollercoaster, but the opportunity for a clean slate is rare and liberating \u2013 we\u2019ve had a chance to rethink most areas of the business and the results are incredibly positive as we slowly see Sydney recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previous to BridgeClimb, my background was largely at digital businesses \u2013 from more mature through to start-ups. I love the pace of digital, the innovation, and the level of data available to inform decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) What does a day in your life look like for you? Can you take us through a recent workday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a Mum of two young kids (3 and 6 yrs), my mornings are not my own often! If I need to get some early work done, I\u2019ll get up at 5.30-6am to give myself an hour or so before the kids are up. I work well early, so I enjoy that time. My husband has a varied work schedule so whether he is on hand to divide and conquer on daycare\/ school preparation and drop-offs, will also impact each morning differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the benefits (strange to say) of the pandemic in my mind, has been the acceptance of a more flexible work week. Currently I\u2019m in the office 3 days\/week and home 2. I find the mix ideal &#8211; there\u2019s the chance to connect and collaborate in person with colleagues but also the chance to deep dive into work uninterrupted at home and be there for my kids. An extra bonus at BridgeClimb is that I can bring my dog Molly to work! So when suits, she\u2019s by my side at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether I\u2019m in the office or not, my work day is incredibly varied \u2013 with everything from business and marketing strategy work and reporting, product &amp; partnership discussions, campaign creative reviews, website product and UX development, and everything in between. I\u2019d say there\u2019s a fairly good balance between meetings and focussed desk time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll generally aim to switch off\/get home for kids&#8217; dinner and bedtime and then jump back into some work after they\u2019ve gone to bed as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) What does work-life balance mean to you and how do you work to achieve that goal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was once told that the reality is more work-life integration than work-life balance. Overall, it\u2019s a juggle, and I don\u2019t mind working around the clock in effect, if it means I can take the time I need (within reason) for my family and to achieve other goals too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be honest, I\u2019ve far from perfected the balance. I love my career, family, friends, holidays, exercise, time for myself and there\u2019s currently a compromise on the time I get for exercise and myself especially. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s something I\u2019m conscious of and I\u2019m always working to improve my routine to ensure everything important gets time and to give myself some space. I realise also that the current juggle is just the life phase I\u2019m in, and growing kids will continue to change things also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Do you have any favourite books, podcasts or newsletters that you&#8217;d like to recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My most recent book was <em>A Ride of a Lifetime<\/em> by <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/daily-routines\/bob-iger-daily-routine\/\">Bob Iger<\/a> (ex-CEO of Disney). I love hearing people&#8217;s stories and so thinking of another couple of business auto-biographies I\u2019ve loved, I\u2019d recommend <em>Shoe Dog<\/em> by Phil Knight (founder of Nike) and <em>Delivering Happiness<\/em> by Tony Hsieh (the founder of Zappos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For podcasts, I love <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/daily-routines\/brene-brown-daily-routine\/\">Brene Brown<\/a> for life and work, and have listened to a few parenting podcasts recently featuring Maggie Dent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for newsletters, a mix of marketing, digital start-ups, travel and general business newsletters fill my inbox &#8211; too many to mention! However, something I\u2019m delving into more and more across all channels are ideas and business movements relating to climate change \u2013 from innovations impacting power, agriculture and the circular economy and beyond \u2013 I\u2019m interested in learning more, and exploring how I might best play my part in the needed transitions to come. Springwise is one newsletter that always delivers on providing a broad range of cutting-edge ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com.au\/dp\/B0BC79RR7N\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/craig-book-ad-banner-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45514\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) If you could read an interview about work-life balance by anyone, who would that be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a tricky one! So many people I know directly, mentors, past colleagues and current, that I should ask. But for someone well-known, locally I think of women like Emma Isaacs from Business Chicks and her juggle of the amazing business she\u2019s developed while raising a big family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the global, <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/daily-routines\/richard-branson-daily-routine\/\">Richard Branson<\/a> comes to mind for the fact he seems to have achieved a close happy family life, plenty of adventures for himself, while creating an empire that seems true to himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6) Do you have any last thoughts on work, life or balance that you\u2019d like to share with our readers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few rambling sentiments for you &#8211; live your values, be yourself, be kind (including to yourself), love what you do or leave (if you\u2019re in a position to), and work hard to get what you want!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Before you go\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you\u2019d like to sponsor or advertise with Balance the Grind,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/how-do-you-balance-the-grind\/\">let\u2019s talk here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/interviews\/ali-cassim-head-of-marketing-product-digital-at-bridgeclimb-sydney\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: Balancing the Grind with Ali Cassim\u200b, Head of Marketing, Product &#038;
