03. GEORGINA HAGERTY
// PROFESSIONAL BALLET, DIVORCE AND NEW CAREER AS A TALENT AGENT
So this was actually my very first interview for the podcast! At the time I was dealing with the new technology and not wanting to hear the sound of my own voice so please be kind when you're listening to me.
Georgie on the other hand is a total goddess ~ comfortable in her own skin, owning her journey and completely open and honest.
Georgina Hagerty is one talented woman! After a very successful career as a professional ballerina where she performed across the world in many shows including Swan Lake, Giselle and Phantom of the Opera she pirouetted to study and business and is now working as an incredible talent agent at Hansen Creative Management.
In this chat we discuss what it was like moving from New Zealand to London at a very young age to pave her way in life and into the professional ballet industry. Georgie shares her advice on finding success in ballet and her experience working in Europe, Perth and Melbourne before retiring a few years ago. She is open about the grief experienced when giving up her dance career at a time where she was also grappling with her divorce after 16 years of marriage. We also discuss her transition into becoming a talent agent, how she went out and made opportunities happen and the importance of mentors and how that has influenced her new career path.
