I’m excited to share an interview with my friend and former colleague in the UNDP – and someone I consider a mentor - Ms Christine Heyting.

Christine is Australian and we met in 2013 when she worked with UNDP Headquarters in the area of performance management and leadership development. Since then, she’s been a regular contractor for various UN agencies doing missions on four continents.

Before that, she was an HR Director in the private sector for about 15 years.
I asked Christine to come on the podcast because I think that with her wealth of HR and leadership experience - combined with her experience from both inside and outside the UN - she has a unique perspective to share. And she’s also a lot of fun to talk to!

Christine shares lots of advice from her experience in areas such as:

• imposter syndrome
• feeling stuck
• networking
• mentoring (as well as reverse mentoring, which was a new concept for me!)
• plus some very practical tips on moving into consulting

I’m certain therefore that there is something to take away for every one of us and I really hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did!

If you enjoyed this episode, then please think about sharing it with a colleague or a friend in the UN who might be motivated or inspired by Christine’s tips and advice.
