As national sales manager at Princess Cruises, Heather Pryde has built a career delivering results for some of the biggest brands in travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahead of this year\u2019s Women in Travel Awards, she shares with Travel Weekly<\/em> the lessons behind her success, from backing your ambition to trusting yourself when an opportunity feels just out of reach.<\/p>\n

On-time entries for the 2026 Women in Travel Awards close Friday, 25 September, with late entries closing 2 October.<\/p>\n

And if you want to be there on the night, you have until 3 November to lock in early bird pricing.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

What does \u201cNever Too Much\u201d mean to you personally?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cNever Too Much\u201d is about refusing to make yourself smaller to fit someone else\u2019s expectations. It\u2019s about backing your ambition, using your voice and challenging the status quo when you believe there\u2019s a better way forward. As women, we\u2019re often encouraged to soften our opinions or temper our aspirations. For me, it\u2019s a reminder that our ideas, voices and ambitions deserve to be heard, unapologetically.<\/p>\n

Who was the woman who showed you it was okay to take up space?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My mum. She taught me that taking up space isn\u2019t about being the loudest person in the room. It\u2019s about having the courage to stand behind your values and use your voice when it matters. She showed me that you can be both kind and strong, and that integrity and resilience will always take you further than seeking approval.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the trip, role or moment that felt almost too big to reach for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Stepping into a commercial leadership role. It was exciting, but also intimidating. I\u2019ve learned that the opportunities that stretch us most are usually the ones worth pursuing. Confidence isn\u2019t about having all the answers. It\u2019s about being willing to learn, adapt and keep moving forward, even when you\u2019re uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

What would you say to the woman who\u2019s still convincing herself to ask for less?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ask for the opportunity. Apply for the role. Share the idea. Put yourself forward. Women often wait until they feel completely ready, but growth happens long before certainty arrives. Don\u2019t make yourself smaller to fit someone else\u2019s expectations. Aim higher and trust yourself enough to take the chance. In my experience, when you consistently demonstrate capability and initiative, the opportunities tend to follow.<\/p>\n

What do you tell yourself in the moment before you step up?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Trust your experience. Trust your preparation. Trust your instincts. Most growth happens when you\u2019re slightly uncomfortable, so if I\u2019m feeling nervous, it\u2019s usually a sign I\u2019m exactly where I need to be.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the one travel item you can\u2019t live without?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A travel pillow. After years of living out of a suitcase, I\u2019ve learned that travel rarely goes 100% according to plan and comfort isn\u2019t a luxury, it\u2019s a strategy. Whether it\u2019s a quick nap in an airport lounge or surviving a long-haul flight, it\u2019s the one thing I never leave home without.<\/p>\n
