"When you're leaving school or university you are bombarded with a repeated 'What are you going to do?' The more interesting questions are 'What do you want your life to look like?' or 'What do you want your life to feel like?' Finding the answers to those questions will tell you what you're going to do."
You'll hear about:
- Rebecca's personal and professional journey including the road to becoming CEO of 10,000 interns starting with her family and heritage, background in sport, exposure to multiple cultures, early start as a founder
- The 'isms' that people face especially in high level positions at a young age and as a woman of colour
- The balance between talent and experience and breaking out of the stereotypical shape of what a CEO might look like
- Shame, equity, empathy towards others and modern leadership qualities
- The importance of coaching and mentoring in a leader's journey
