Charlotte, originally from The Netherlands, decided to move to Sydney ten years ago with just a suitcase and lots of excitement about the future.
The move brought many opportunities, both personally and professionally.
She is now in Lisbon and has a new job as a Creative Marketing strategist with personal creative projects at a side as well.
“Moving abroad gave me the opportunity and confidence boost that I needed to go out there and live my life”.
The experience of moving abroad had an influence on her professional life too.
“Meeting new people from all over the world and seeing and hearing how they approach certain things. That is something that really inspired me and allowed me to see new opportunities for myself too”. Being confronted with different situations and scenarios daily, builds resilience and ability to adapt.
“Deciding to quit my job and go for a role in a startup company that would pay less, but I saw it as an amazing opportunity”.
“If not now, then when?”
LISTEN AND YOU WILL LEARN:
- How to turn your own experience into a project, a product or a business
- Passion is the fuel, even if you question the project at times, or if you feel like quitting
