Does travel make you a better leader?

For the final of Making Waves, I sit down with Hillary Wild- Hirons, Director of Growth Strategy at Black Swan Data.

Hillary has worked in sales for Euromonitor, Attest, and is now at Black Swan Data, and throughout her impressive career, travel has played a hug part. She has lived in Hawaii, Australia, Spain, Costa Rica, US, and now the UK.

We speak about what she has learnt from travelling and how it has affected her as a leader and colleague.

In this conversation we also discuss:

  • Burnout
  • The importance of having life experiences and travelling
  • Non-linear career paths
  • Imposter syndrome

Thank you Hillary for being so raw, open and honest. It’s so refreshing to hear powerful women speak about these topics that every woman faces.

Conversations like this make us women realise it’s okay to feel imposter syndrome, burnout, and lost in your career, but it’s how you manage it that makes the difference.
