Liliya Savych is an HR professional who was working for a large Ukraine-based corporation located in Kyiv when we recorded this episode. When Russians surrounded Kyiv she left the city and faced being a refugee without roots. Landing in Dublin she reclaimed her sense of self and then returned to Ukraine.
Since this interview, Liliya has left corporate to work in Lviv in western Ukraine with the aim of bringing her international experience to a municipal workforce. Her journey describes the experience of having the roots of your homeland yanked out and the process of adapting to a very different reality.
Her experience and journey reflect the process of a leader who chose to move through her fear to arrive at a place of inner strength - a core attribute for leaders today.
