Jacqui Barratt, CEO at Salt shares her experience attending the #ParisOlympics
“Given we are all about the human connection at Salt it really hit home about the opportunity we have to positively impact the people around us, even with the smallest gesture.” – Jacqui Barratt , CEO at Salt shares her experience attending the #ParisOlympics. Read more below.
“My Olympic journey was everything I could have hoped for and more. Many years ago, we made the decision to go to the Paris Olympics with the goal of seeing the 100 meter finals – seeing the fastest people on the planet. I can now say we achieved that goal and so much more. Paris is one of my favourite cities in the world and as the Olympic host, they did not disappoint. I truly couldn’t fault my experience, from the digital apps to the transport everything seemed to work with ease.
A few things really stood out for me and the first was the incredible staff and volunteers all around Paris at every venue and transport hub they were simply fantastic. It didn’t matter whether you were the first person to arrive or the 10,000th .You were greeted enthusiastically, often cheered along, sometimes singing and dancing and they were equally engaging at the end of the day. They really made a positive impact, and you couldn’t help but feel excited.
The second aspect that left me smiling on the inside was that at every event I went to, and I was fortunate to go to many, the crowd truly were there to celebrate and support the athletes. It didn’t matter what country they were from or whether your team was winning or losing the mood didn’t change. The audience would respond to the athletes' request whether it was silence they needed or rousing applause. The energy was infectious, and the audience appreciated that every athlete had a journey to get there. The true Olympic spirit was alive and I truly felt blessed to be there."
Jacqui’s experience at the Olympics underscores the importance of positive interactions and the impact of creating a supportive atmosphere. Just as the volunteers and crowds at the Olympics enhanced the experience for everyone, we at Salt strive to foster human connections and support our clients and candidates in their journey toward successful futures. Thank you Jacqui for your inspiring story!
