Do you really understand how your own bias comes into play when tasked with a large decision as a female leader?

In this week's episode of The 360 LeadHERship podcast, I sit down with Irish Author Nuala Walsh, Nuala is a non-executive director in sport, business and human rights organisations; a behavioural scientist, TEDx speaker and visiting fellow at the London School of Economics.

Recognised among the 100 Most Influential Women in Finance, Nuala shares her insights into the psychology of decision-making, the impact of intuition, and the role of biases.
