“Discover the essence of human connection in the latest Weekend Essay – ‘Remember That Everyone Is Just Another Person.”
In this Weekend Essay, I share a valuable lesson learned from conducting interviews for Money Marketing. A standout interview was with Standard Life CEO Andy Curran, featured in the MM Meets series published in September. Sitting down with Curran provided insights into his professional journey, time at Standard Life, plans, and personal ethos for life and business. Delving into the personal side, beyond the business aspect, made the experience truly enriching.
Admittedly, interviewing Curran, especially with a photographer present, induced a bit of nervousness. However, the encounter significantly bolstered my confidence for future interviews with professionals of varying seniority. During a casual discussion with colleagues, valuable advice emerged: “everyone is just another person.” This perspective, shared by Headlinemoney Head of Sales, Martin Quinn, has proven instrumental in navigating interviews with a more relaxed and productive approach.
Quinn’s mindset has evidently served him well, even in high-profile situations such as appearing on GB News and being interviewed by Nigel Farage. His constructive approach aligns seamlessly with his role in the Payment Choice Alliance, advocating for individuals’ right to choose how they pay.
