  • Summary

  • In this captivating episode of the Successful Day podcast, join me as I engage in an enlightening conversation with Benedicte Joan, a true global citizen with a remarkable story to tell. Discover how she cultivated her adaptability, a skill that goes far beyond just reacting to change; it's about proactively embracing change and turning it into an opportunity. I first crossed paths with Benedicte in 2018, and by then, she had already explored over 50 countries. As a dreamer and fellow global enthusiast, I couldn't help but feel that a window of opportunity for bigger dreams was opening. What truly sets "B" apart is her unwavering dedication to values like tolerance, integrity, solidarity, and generosity. She's not just a traveler seeking Instagram fame; she's the driving force behind creating a purposeful world beyond herself. As a feminist at heart, she's leveraged her master's in tourism from Birmingham University to establish two impactful associations: "Train and Travel with Women in Africa," which empowers women to become tour guides and build a sustainable ecosystem, and "Stop au Chat Noir," dedicated to fighting gender-based violence and providing safe spaces for survivors. Throughout our conversation, we delve into Benedicte's journey, her experiences as an early adopter, her work in India, and her commitment to maintaining values amid overwhelming feelings. We explore the importance of speaking up and disrupting the status quo. Join us for an episode that's not just about adaptability but also about creating a world of positive change.
