Having an ally at work with Morag Barrett
Morag Barrett, executive coach, leadership expert, and bestselling author of three books joins us today for an interesting conversation about leadership, courage, and vulnerability. Her newest book You, Me, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work (and How to Show Up As One!) has won four awards, and her dedication, commitment, and curiosity have been key to her success.
Tune in to this rich conversation where she shares her experiences and the choices she made to become the leader she is. One of the best pieces of advice she gave me when I decided to start my own business was ‘go before you're ready’, take advantage of the learning opportunities and ask questions along the way. She inspires me with her wisdom and I’m sure you’ll be inspired after listening to this conversation too!
