My guest today is Freya Birdie.

Freya has 17 years of global experience working across three continents in the US (NYC, SF, Silicon Valley, Miami); Europe (London, Rome, Brussels), and Asia (Mumbai) focused on management consulting, leadership coaching, organizational and team effectiveness, learning & professional development.

Freya is a graduate of the Leadership Coaching at Georgetown University, and is a certified MBTI personality assessment facilitator. She’s also a Global Manager for People Development at McKinsey & Company. 

Freya is passionate about intercultural discovery through experiential learning and has traveled 60+ countries.  She also loves spending time in nature, hiking and biking, and is a yoga and meditation practitioner.

Freya and I met through the Georgetown’s coaching mentorship program.  We felt an immediate connection around travel, living in diverse places around the world, not really knowing where home is, and each of us being in different countries each time we set up a call!  It’s really a joy finding someone like Freya who understands this unconventional lifestyle!

Freya has an abundance of intriguing and inspiring stories and we only skim the beginning of them today.  I’ll just mention one briefly here and that is that Freya is part of the extremely small remaining community of Zoroastrianism, one of the world’s oldest religions.  It was fascinating to learn more about this ancient religion and Freya’s experience exploring these roots of her family.

Freya, thank you so much for sharing your stories, your reflections, and your wisdom.  You have a beautiful presence and I’m grateful our paths have crossed.  I look forward to future conversations, both there on the podcast and in person!
