About the show

Whether you are a recent graduate or a more senior professional, this career development podcast will help you to build and improve your international leadership skills. Through inspirational leaders' stories, you will get practical advice and tips, and you will be encouraged to explore new paths on your career journey. What inspired me to create this podcast? I have enjoyed working in an international environment for 20 years. I did not receive any specific guidance and I had to find ways of solving issues by myself. That is why I would like to help others in developing their international leadership skills. Would you like to become a (better) global leader?
