Bloom with Ruth Penfold-Brown
65 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago -If you are a new, aspiring or established woman in leadership, or perhaps just a woman who is on the slippery slope to burnout, feeling overworked, overwhelmed and undervalued in the workplace, you are in the right place.
Confidence is the currency that will enable you to grow in your career, yet many of us find it hard to build it within a workplace that wasn’t made for us. The challenge is, if we want to change the workplace, we have to change who we are within it.
The goal of this podcast is to inspire and support you to build the tools to do that in a way that feels truly authentic to you and one where you truly thrive. Join me, Ruth Penfold-Brown every week as I meet with phenomenal women in leadership and share tools, tips and frameworks to support you to build a career beyond your wildest dreams.
Is it your time to Bloom...?
