Podcast Details:
In this week’s episode of The 360 LeadHERship Podcast, I’m joined by Heather Elkington, founder of Fresh Start Leadership. Heather’s journey is one that so many women in leadership will resonate with from battling imposter syndrome as a young assistant manager on the shop floor at Harrods, to scaling and selling a tech company, to becoming an Ops Director in a FTSE 100 subsidiary leading five diverse teams across 11,000 employees.
Now, she’s using her wealth of experience to empower the next generation of managers and create workplaces where people genuinely love the work they do. And trust me, her story and insights will spark some powerful mindset shifts for you too.
Tune in to discover:
- The truth about imposter syndrome and why so many women in leadership experience it (and how to overcome it).
- Why small companies can be powerful stepping stones for women in leadership to gain diverse experience and accelerate growth.
- The impact of supportive managers on performance and mental health
- Why avoiding difficult conversations only makes problems bigger and how to reframe them with courage and ownership.
- The power of vulnerability and authenticity in creating psychological safety and trust in teams.
