8 Ways Travelling Improves Your Leadership
I tend to travel at moments when everything in my life are chaotic or going down hill…
Why? Because I gain better perspective when I push my boundaries and step outside my personal situation.
Travelling can indeed be a wonderful and unique experience.
It can also be a way to increase your leadership, change your mindset, improve your self-awareness and discover better principles.
Wondering how can travelling make you a better leader?
There are a lot of positive effects to travelling.
1. You discover yourself
When you travel, nobody really knows you so you are free to try and embody new versions of yourself.
That is because by travelling, you remove yourself from the pressures of society and from the expectations that your parents or circle have placed on you.
You find ways to become a better leader for yourself and your team.
One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. - Henry Miller Click To Tweet2. You renew your mind
You change your perspective, gain more clarity and start thinking differently.
Indeed, travelling quiets the negative voices in your head and rewires your brain.
Travelling is an opportunity to go into deep introspection, to discipline yourself, to challenge your beliefs and assumptions, and redefine your values and priorities.
You are too absorbed by the new environments to stay stuck in the past, anxious about the future, or stuck in your head.
3. You get out of your comfort zone
One of my favorite things about travelling is taking risks and getting out of your comfort zone. It requires a lot of confidence and a taste for the unknown.
It gives you the opportunity to try new things and try out different versions of themselves.
Not everybody has the opportunity to travel. To be kind to your wallet, you can travel to the city next door.
4. You build up self-confidence
Investment in travel is an investment in yourself. - Matthew Karsten Click To TweetWhen I travel, I don’t like making plans in general.
I rather wander, roam through the streets and get lost so I can ask people my way back, practice a different language, find hidden treasures and test my ability to be resourceful.
Getting lost and finding my way back gives me more confidence in my abilities to successfully take care of myself. I can then return home with the conviction that I can solve anything I put my mind to.
5. You get healed
Travelling provides healing for your entire being and reminds you that there is still beauty in the world.
- You acquire the opportunity to get to know yourself better, to try different things, to get out of your attributed role.
- You become present and aware of your surroundings.
- You listen to yourself more and get in touch with your intuition.
- You treasure your experiences more than material things. Your positive memories will help you overcome difficult times.
6. You balance your work and life
Leaders don’t always have time to relax and travel as much as they would want to. Travelling improves your work-life balance because:
- You don’t have to worry so much about work and your coworkers.
- You remove yourself from toxicity and enjoy people who enjoy you.
- You break from your routine and from zombie mode.
- You take a well deserved break from your drama.
- You recenter yourself and you realize that we are all human beings.
7. You develop cultural sensitivity
Through my years of travel, I have seen people travelling so they could feel superior and turn their nose up at people from different cultures who live their lives differently.
They basically use travelling as a way to validate their beliefs of superiority.
The reality is travelling is a way to open your mind and experience new cultures.
- You gain more knowledge.
- You become less judgmental.
- You become culturally sensitive.
- You may find where you truly belong.
- You understand that different is good.
- You believe that everything or everyone has their qualities and their flaws.
- You acknowledge that most people don’t fall under all the stereotypes.
8. You grow social Skills
Travelling increases your curiosity, creativity and social skills.
You meet interesting people on your journey who speak different languages but who have the same life experiences and the same intentions.
Beyond the language barrier, you become self-reliant, you value people and make an effort to understand other people.
Last Words Of Advice!
Try travelling alone if you can.
When you travel alone, you make your own decisions, you learn yourself, you are responsible for yourself and you do what you want.
Finally, you learn to value yourself and enjoy yourself alone.

5 Powerful Ways To Find Out Who You Truly Are
When you know who you are, you immediately become confident and feel empowered.
Indeed, you stop looking for external validation.
You start experimenting and looking for validation from only yourself.
Wondering how to figure out who you are?
1. Take an assessment test
Sometimes, you just don’t know where to start.
The good news is that there are several self-assessment tools out there to help you figure out who you are, your personality type, your core values, your strengths and weaknesses.
2. Take time off
Leaders have been conditioned through their role to take care of everyone else.
Taking time off in solitude does wonder for self-care, self-awareness and leadership development.
Solitude scares most people because they lack the courage to confront themselves.
However, only in solitude will you be able to observe yourself, identify all facets of your personality, discipline your thoughts and emotions.
3. Review your life
Writing things down allows you to review your life, keep track of your habits and observe your patterns of behavior.
It also allows you clarify and analyze your thoughts.
In addition, journaling is a great way to extact the essence of who you are and the lessons from past experiences whether they’ve been positive or negative.
4. Explore
Trying new things is a great way to explore and find out what you really like and don’t like, what you’re good or bad at, what feels right or wrong, what fuels your fire or what drains you.
Besides, this will help you acknowledge your differences, set healthy boundaries, become more discerning and do the things that you really want to do.
5. Observe your relationships
They say that you are the sum of the 5 closest people to you.
If you pay attention to your relationships, you’ll notice what you share in common and what you are made of.
Furthermore, you’ll notice who you look up to, who you relate to, what you tolerate and what you imitate.
