Finding Your EPIC
S2-Ep 14 EPIC Freedom with Alexandra Foster
In this episode, host Jacqueline Frost talks to Alexandra Foster, Director, Global Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) & Professional Business Services, Fujitsu.
Alexandra discusses transforming challenges into strengths. She highlights how self-diminishing language, like "just," can undermine self-worth, advocating for celebrating all wins. Alexandra, who is dyslexic, views this as a source of unique strengths like creativity. She champions creating an "epicentre" of internal power and believes true workplace freedom requires psychological safety and valuing diverse thinking. Leaders should help unlock these "hidden superpowers."
Alexandra concludes with Louisa May Alcott's quote: "I'm not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship”, emphasising resilience in leadership.
