Welcome to another episode of Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, where we unravel the tales of business travel and reflect on the lessons learned. In James Kington’s final story of the year, he takes us on a suspenseful border-crossing journey between Russia and Kazakhstan in the heart of winter.
As James recounts his experience flying into Russia, only to embark on a midnight mini-bus journey to Kazakhstan, the tension builds at the border. Confronted by a stern figure armed with a machine gun, James finds himself in a nerve-wracking situation as his passport is taken away, leaving him in uncertainty in the middle of the night.
Our host, Bex Deadman, reflects on the psychological impact of such border-crossing scenarios. Bex highlights how, in James's case, the unfamiliar process triggered panic, emphasising the importance of communication and knowledge-sharing among staff who have experienced similar trips. Had there been a prior exchange of information, James might have navigated the situation with greater ease.
The episode delves into the significance of peer-to-peer knowledge transfer within organisations, especially when it comes to unique travel experiences. Bex explores how sharing insights and tips can alleviate anxiety and uncertainty, fostering a more informed and resilient community of business travellers.
Join us for another episode of Talk'n TRM: The Traveller Files, where each tale is a lesson, and every journey is a risk worth exploring.
