Season 2, Episode 3: Online Shopping (with guest Gillian Geraghty)

It's hard to believe that only 12 years ago we were all learning how to buy things online - today we search, add to basket and pay without even thinking. Dahlia and Gillian discuss the journey of 'online shopping' and how Gillian has developed her career right from Assistant Merchandiser at the Sweater Shop all the way to E-commerce Director roles at both George and Currys. Dahlia worked with Gillian at George as they grew the online business from tiny sales numbers to a significant part of the George Clothing and General Merchandise business. As Dahlia tells her in their conversation 'I was stressed and you were well dressed'!! Dahlia and Gillian discuss the challenge of trying to understand how you grow a whole new channel in a business that has always had one way of doing things, how you get ahead of the pace of change and how to make money selling stuff online!   The discussion includes how to grow your confidence as you develop your career, how to influence your stakeholders and the impact your clothes can have on how you feel. Dahlia and Gillian also discuss how to build back your confidence after a maternity leave and how they have used clothes to give them an extra boost when returning to work after having children. Join the conversation and go 'Online Shopping' with Dahlia and Gillian.
