#121: 5 Leadership Lessons I Learnt the Hard Way
Description
Leadership isn’t about doing it all yourself - it’s about building high-performing teams, protecting your vision, and knowing when to evolve. In this episode, Jane sits down with her close friend Jude, a keynote speaker and masterful moderator who knows how to shake up workplace culture and spark action through storytelling. Who better to put Jane in the hot seat than one of her closest mates?
