Keeping Face with Kathleen Baird-Murray
Forever fascinated by what motivates, shapes and guides the talented, hard-working and driven individuals behind some of our favourite beauty brands, Keeping Face is about the weak spot, the scary moment, the part of the story in each founder’s narrative, where things looked like they might go wrong - badly wrong. How did they get around these moments? How did they turn weakness into opportunity? Did they feel vulnerable? Was it hard to rally and rebound? Who was there to support them through this? What was helpful? As they tell us about that difficult time, Keeping Face will leave the listener feeling inspired, informed and entertained, as we learn how they got around these moments, and learnt from their mistakes or whatever disasters life had thrown at them.At a time when the world is experiencing huge disruption, this endearing and relatable series shows us how fallible we all are as humans, but also how indestructible, resilient and brave we can be too.
