Lucy, let's start with the juicy part of the interview with you telling us about your journey from biotechnology to woman leadership coaching.

Lots of twists and turns for sure. Everybody in life. So yeah, so my name is Lucy Gernon and I am a triple certified multi award winning executive coach.

And I work with women in leadership roles to support them to achieve their leadership career goals with more confidence without sacrificing work life balance, work life harmony, work life blend, whatever you want to call it, because it really is possible. And the reason I started my business is, like you shared, I'm from Ireland. I studied biotechnology.

167.021 - 189.109 Lucy Gernon

I was actually a microbiologist for a long time. I worked in the food and beverage sector for a while. And then I spent the majority of my two decades in American multinationals, primarily in the pharmaceutical industry. And I ran the microbiology department on a sterile manufacturing site. I had a team.

189.129 - 211.898 Lucy Gernon

I was involved in a lot of managing teams across different time zones and trying to coordinate stakeholders across different time zones and things like that, trying to get projects over the line and run the day-to-day operations as well. And while I absolutely loved what I did for a certain period of time, I always knew I had so much more to give.
