In the I F'd Up! podcast, host Noelle interviews guests from diverse career experiences on a mistake they made at work. Through honest and unfiltered conversations, guests unpack how they came to make a work mistake, how they navigated the fallout and what they learned in the process. By creating a space for honest discussions about how we show up at work, we hope to challenge limiting beliefs around value and perfectionism, fostering a shift in mindset and in life.

Today on the pod, we have Dr. Helen Krug von Nidda, founder of With Helen coaching and consulting, and former HR leader at UNICEF, the United Nations, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the International Rescue Committee. Helen has trained and coached leaders across the globe, from Sony Music and Walmart to Stanford and INSEAD, with a mission of helping women thrive in the workplace.

Helen’s journey is inspiring and deeply human. In our chat, she reflects on her early openness to mistakes, her extraordinary career, and her I f’d up moment of leaving a role too soon and having to return. A humbling experience that reshaped how she views leadership, risk, and resilience.
