Take flight into Leonie's journey, I personally took a lot away from this conversation hearing about Leonie’s upbringing being the youngest of 9 siblings (wow!), her childhood memories given the broad age differences between her siblings, passion for indigenous culture and giving it a voice it deserves. It was refreshing to hear a candid perspective on her life at work also, whether it be getting into law and spending some time there, move to the corporate world as a HR Director and some of the personal challenges that came with that which eventually lead to Leonie transitioning into starting her own ventures including consulting, learning & facilitation in leadership & coaching would be partners in law firms and writing including her own book stop doubting and start leading.

Especially interesting to unpack how those moves came about and the life experiences tied to them!
