repeated and so i think it's just a very different role you know an exec leadership team is not the same as a as a divisional team you know you've got much bigger people with much more gravitas but also you know you can't manage them in quite the same way um and you've you know you've not really got a boss but you've got a board and you've got shareholders so it's more diffuse but that doesn't make it that makes it somewhat more complex so i think

just the role itself is so different and I'm not sure anything can prepare you for it but almost going into it knowing you it is so different is quite helpful and that you have to leave a what a lot of what made you successful before behind because when things got tough before I would go faster dive in harder kind of you know get into the organization make things happen and you actually you can't do that as a CEO you have to stand back and create space

So very different.

So very different.

So very different.

You know, I spent a lot of time coaching and mentoring women throughout my career. I think the experience of women who want to become senior executives and the barriers that they face are generally quite different than what I've experienced when I've been coaching men. And so I feel incredibly privileged now.

to live in a geography and a time in history where my opportunity to be a CEO is even possible. Like it's probably only in the last 30 years and only in like 10% of the globe where this is even an option. So I just feel that, you know, I don't carry that weight heavily. I just feel incredibly privileged.

And so I want to pay that forward and I want to make sure that, you know, I help women, you know, frame their experiences and their capabilities in the way that helps them succeed. So it's quite core to me.

So when women come to me for coaching in that kind of area of their career, or actually any area of their career, any point in their career, it's such a different experience than when men come. And I think it starts really early in childhood where When boys fall down, they're told, get up and try again, right? Get up and try again, keep going. And they frame success as like 51-49.
