Our guest for Episode 4, Sharon Davies, is the CEO of Young Enterprise, a charitable organisation here in the UK that empowers young people to discover, develop and celebrate their skills and potential.

Head here to find out more about them, to get involved, and if you are among their alumni, as Sharon said on the podcast, they would love to hear from you - https://www.young-enterprise.org.uk/.

Sharon’s letter to President Barack Obama was packed with things for us to chew over as we talked about ‘leaning into challenges that don’t have perfect answers’ and about the importance of the language we use, particularly when describing the future for the younger generations currently adapting through Covid19. We also talked about the impact of how you hold yourself physically as a leader, the role of listening and silence (particularly in online meetings) and avoiding being the rescuer.
