Right from the response to my first question, when Mel Silva shared her favourite Karaoke tune to belt out, I knew we were in for a great conversation. Melanie Silva is Managing Director and VP, Google Australia and New Zealand and in our conversation, shares with generous transparency some of the key moments in her career. We talk about her early days as a “meerkat", popping her head up when she heard about the internet. How that deep curiosity has led to an exhilarating career at the forefront of digital. I ask what would create that meerkat moment for her today?
I love the open and vulnerable sharing of what growing and learning feels like and how sometimes we mistake that for failure. Together we discuss the branding image for imposter syndrome, how her coach helps her manage any self-doubt and how she shifts seamlessly from structured strategic thinker to crazy swan paddling the feet underneath the water. Mel shares a wonderful perspective around parental leave and the opportunity it presents for tremendous organisational growth. I loved my time with Mel. I am sure you will take so much away from this conversation.
