Episode notes

"You've got to take control of that journey yourself." Former Nielsen APAC President Justin Sargent on why cultural intelligence, career ownership, and human leadership matter more than ever. A snap decision in a traffic jam became a 25-year journey across six countries. Justin breaks down what he learned leading teams from Sydney to Shanghai, bridging HQ and local markets, and turning relationships, adaptability, and intentional career moves into sustainable performance. We cover the shift from waiting for direction to owning your development , reading cultural cues that others miss , and why vulnerability and openness unlock trust faster than authority ever will.
