Starting an Award-Winning Social Enterprise Whilst Bringing Up Babies & Dealing with Imposter Syndrome
Something a little different for the final episode of Season 3 as the tables have turned and I have found myself answering the questions instead of asking them!
Kirstie Brewer, a journalist at the BBC and a Leaders Plus Fellow, interviews me, Verena Hefti, the host of this podcast and the founder of Leaders Plus. I share my personal story of combining a senior leadership career with young children and why I set up the award-winning social enterprise Leaders Plus.
Kirstie asks fantastic questions and it was really interesting for me to be able to reflect on the journey so far.
We discuss:
- The reality of starting a social enterprise while bringing up two babies
- Why I didn’t push out my ambition along with my baby
- What it’s like to leave a stable job to become a pregnant entrepreneur
- Imposter syndrome and how I deal with it
- Setting priorities and ensuring the long term goals remain in sight
- Having a third baby and why this will enable me to step back and think more strategically
