In this episode, Jacqui and Usb debrief from an interview withe Melanie McCarthy. Melanie McCarthy is the Founder of Leading for Success, a firm that develops people from technical backgrounds into exceptional leaders. 

Leadership development is integral to developing EQ.  Contrary to popular opinion innovation using “big data” and “automation” will require a greater investment in human capital for companies, not less. Melanie is committed to helping technical people elevate their leadership capability to benefit business, community and society at large.

Growth is only possible if you get out of your comfort zone.  This often feels like failure!  Melanie has multiple experiences of taking risks to achieve her goals, and in the process has gone through periods of FAILURE only to find in hindsight that those experiences have been GOLD.  Melanie will share her story of failing and how it has created incredible SUCCESS in her life.
