The Transformative Power of Travelling Alone
About this Episode:
Today’s guest is Sue Cockell, Solo Traveller on a mission to help women in their mid-lives to enjoy the transformative power of travelling alone.
I had the joy of first meeting Sue when she was working at a pharmaceutical company where I was leading a leadership development programme. Sue was one of a small group of leaders with whom I worked over a period of time, supporting them in leading others. As a group we got to know each other well, and during that time, some ten years ago, Sue lost her beloved husband. I remember Sue getting into solo travel, and helping me to feel confident about my youngest daughter travelling solo aged 18.
In our conversation Sue offers valuable insights into:
The transformative power of travel
Solo travel for women in mid-life
Embracing the power of “Yes!”
Sue’s Three Key Encouragements to Leaders:
It’s not what happens to you in life, but how you respond that makes you who you are
You grow the most outside your comfort zone. Embrace those opportunities to stretch it, even if it scares you
Your life experiences are what makes you unique, relatable & interesting. Never be afraid to share them as you never know where it may lead.
