Perhaps the biggest game changer in my leadership has been triumphantly facing a journey with breast cancer. The moment brought me to my knees and challenged my very existence.

Michelle is a Senior Investment Officer and Head of Public and Private partnerships advisory for the Caribbean at the World Bank. The World Bank is the world's largest multilateral development bank, owned by 190 member countries, which promotes long-term economic development and poverty reduction.

She has over 25 years of experience and has always been driven by the next deal until cancer brought her to her knees and gave her the greatest gift in her transformation, bringing a new level of vulnerability and surrender.

I had to make intentional choices about how I want to live. And I have brought that intentionality to how I lead and the impact I want to make

She is now leading a team working on a transformational program with the Government of Jamaica to significantly advance Jamaica's development agenda through strategic partnerships and deeper

engagements with the World Bank through a $1.5 billion private sector infrastructure investment to bring to market possibly, highway, broadband, healthcare, water, sanitation, and other infrastructure

projects.

In this conversation, Michelle discusses topics such as:

• Being an infrastructure nerd

• Creating great relationships with your managers

• Signs that you want something more out of your career

• Change your mindset, change your language

• Carrying the weight of a country's infrastructure

• Focusing on Self-Mastery

• The gift from her cancer journey

• You can't build trust if you're talking all the time

Are you ready to turn the key to a life brimming with financial freedom, the kind of freedom that could have you retiring early, basking in the kind of lifestyle you've always envisaged for your family?

Your dreams are ripe for the taking. Just take a leaf from Ken and Mary Okoroafor's book, the ingenious minds behind The Humble Penny. Their journey from being resource-strapped, working-class immigrants to becoming the epitome of Financial Independence in their mid-30s is nothing short of inspiring. They broke free from the shackles of mortgage and charted a course towards a life filled with financial security and heartwarming moments, all thanks to a blend of relentless hard work, judicious saving, and astute investing.

The Humble Penny didnt just sprout overnight. It was nurtured from a modest 99p blog, blossoming into a beacon of financial wisdom, guiding over 5 million souls worldwide towards a healthier money mindset via their YouTube channel and Academy. The ripple effect of their endeavour is encapsulated in their transformative book, Financial Joy: Banish Debt, Grow Your Money and Unlock Financial Freedom in 10 Weeks, a testament to the power of transforming financial dreams into tangible freedom.

This is a live recording with Ken and Mary Okoroaforas as they discuss the book for the first time.

Do you prefer the comfort of a predictable existence or the exhilaration of a life filled with risks and uncertainties? Embracing the unknown can bring unparalleled freedom and spontaneity, but at what cost?

Today, I delve into this intriguing dilemma with my guest, drawing from his personal experiences and taking inspiration from figures like Rick Ruben. Dive in with us as we explore the dichotomy of safety versus uncertainty.

My guest today is visionary Chatham Sullivan the Founder of Nof1. He isn't just a student of systems, institutions, and organisations but an architect who moulds them. He builds weird new things inside of organisations, i.e. rituals, structures, whatever opens them up to allow those organisations to breathe and evolve differently.

Chatham has a rich history of working closely with CEOs, boards, and senior leaders in organisations as diverse as Fortune 100 corporations, owner-led businesses, elite universities, and cultural institutions.

Join us on this intriguing journey as we discover the art of teaching one to fish rather than just handing them one.

In this conversation, Chatham discusses topics such as:

• Importance of learning from different fields

• Rick Rueben and not chasing golden records

• Rethinking shareholder value

• The exploration-exploitation dilemma

• The more we do things to survive, the more we impoverish our ability to live.

• Results from jumping the chasm of fear & inauthenticity

• Making conscious choices and not living on autopilot

• Not getting immediate payoff as a parent
