Coming from selling “sparkly kids’ clothes,” I get this all the time. I’ve also sold housewares, candles and decor, men’s suits (including fitting), men’s and women’s apparel, shoes, baby furniture and gear, toys, grocery, TVs and tech, makeup and hair care (including prestige), fine and fashion jewelry, loyalty and credit products, and had to oversee photo studio, vision and hearing centers, pharmacy, salon, and tire and battery department issues… Often, none of that mattered. However, it was my experience at Justice that made me able to work in one of the most operationally driven companies. Every year at inventory, I put out that trouble rack knowing not a single item was going to touch it (knowing the headache of overflowing trouble carts previously, it was my personal challenge). I remember getting the pre-inventory call after we switched districts and my DSL getting scared when I said I wasn’t ready for inventory, and I had to clarify that I was just probably more ready than anyone else but we had time to go through everything about 3 more times before inventory, and usually had our inventory team gush about how prepared we were. It was knowing not only what my numbers were, but setting projections and making scheduling adjustments every day to support it. It was having to walk the center to recruit and network, which translated easily to B2B sales. It was negotiating for a spot on the Marquee. It was building connections with the Sheriff and UPS drivers. It was planning Fashion Shows and other events, donation drives and volunteer opportunities, as well as contests, potlucks and fill the fridge events for the team without a huge budget and still leaving everyone feeling appreciated (At least most. There always will be that one that wished you got boneless wings and not bone in or complains that you bought white queso and not yellow.) It was planning windows and floor sets when you were a 3rd tier inventory store but had the largest area with extra windows and walls, without looking empty and having to develop entire statements that fit with the rest of the plan. It was realizing that ordering a taller ladder would save a ton of money because the closest person that installed and changed the lighting made over a 3 hour round trip, and it was something you could do. It was dealing with inventory issues and hiring issues (including hiring extra to help staff peak at a neighboring store),…but at the end of the day “It should be fun. Afterall, we get to sell sparkly shirts to children,” as my other DSL always reminded us. Everyone in retail wants to talk about how their skills are transferable to other industries, yet they rarely see the value of other retail professionals. If managing a retail store is transferable to human resources or banking, why don’t we believe someone from a retail store has the skills to run another retail store?

“Oh, you worked there!” She scoffed. “Yeah!” I exclaimed and acted like I didn’t notice. I was just exchanging something at a store. As I was chatting, making conversation about where I used to work - that’s what the cashier said. Let me say this - Retail is retail. I don’t care if you work at Walmart or Prada. I see you and I support what you do. No one is better than anyone else because of where they work. C’mon. 🙄 #retail #leadership

Former Ulta Beauty CEO Mary Dillon, who led the company from 2013 to 2021, took the helm at Foot Locker in September 2022 to revitalize the brand. Dillon is renowned for her successful leadership at Ulta, where she transformed the company from a regional player into a national powerhouse. Under her tenure, Ulta's revenues surged from $2.7 billion to $8.6 billion, and operating profits grew from $327 million to $1.3 billion. Dillon's Lace Up Plan at Foot Locker faced significant challenges in 2023 due to macroeconomic and consumer-related pressures. However, is the plan now about to show signs of success? #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #RetailIndustry #FootLocker #UltaBeauty #CEO #Transformation #BusinessStrategy #MaryDillon #LaceUpPlan #RetailLeadership #BusinessInnovation #Macroeconomics #ConsumerTrends #CorporateSuccess #RevenueGrowth #BusinessRevitalization

Team work is all about empowering each of the person with responsibilities that they excel at. I remember one such incident when I was working long ago at a store. The store was a small one with decent footfalls. We were once tasked with selling the maximum units of a product and compete with the bigger stores in beating their numbers as a part of a contest. Taking into consideration the challenge, the manager divided the task among the team mates. Few were to focus on the display and the visibility to make it attractive. Another set was tasked with upselling. The third set was tasked with cold calling and the last set of people were to raise the indent to ensure adequate stocks at all times. The outcome was we came 2nd amongst all stores in the country which at the beginning seemed completely out of reach. It not only boosted the morale of the team but also helped in bonding better based on their strengths and teamwork. This festive season try to use this and see the outcome coming through in your favor. Happy selling! #teamwork #strength #delegation #leader #leadership #success #collaboration #growth #season #festiveseason

Last year I began a small series of blogs on career and life lessons. Watching Ronaldo take the first penalty in the shoot-out after missing one in the match reminded me of something from a very long time back. The real take home is that "all that matters is what you do next" but some of the tactics I learnt that day were also useful across the years. With thanks, as always to some of my brilliant ex-bosses including, in this particular case, Iain Tweedie. #communications #marketingcommunications #publicrelations #mediarelations #retail #careerlessons #management #leadership #movingon

C-Level Brand Leader with proven experience in Home Decor / Furniture, Fashion & Luxury Goods as well Experienced with Early Stage & Start up companies.
Adaptability in the luxury industry is critical, particularly for leadership. Things change, and they change often. Even though luxury goods are relevant virtually always, that doesn't mean that we don't have to be flexible and open to trying new things and letting go of tradition or, at least, holding onto it too tightly. Luxury requires us to embrace BOTH tradition and modernizing, putting leadership at the helm. #LuxuryMarket #Adaptability #Leadership
