Peggy Bell has a multitude of commas after her name; TEDx Speaker, StoryTeller, Fractional Chief Growth Officer, Writer, Podcast host, Branding and Marketing Creative, Change Agent, Mum, Neurodivergent Ambassador so it was a no brainer to invite her on to share some of her insights in the constantly evolving world of mining.

In this episode we discus 

• The value good storytelling skills can have in leadership, drawing upon her experience of talking at TEDx and how this can build connection in the workplace and beyond. Peggy shares some practical ways to hone your storytelling skills from her experience from being coached and subsequently being invited to talk at TEDx.
• The importance of introspection at Executive level.
• How we can better support neurodivergent employees and harness their superpowers to help companies thrive,
• The impact Femina Collective, of whom she is the Chief Growth Officer of, is having within the mining sector and empowering of women in the industry.

Join Lucy as she speaks with Jessica Morgan VP & Deputy General Manager of La Coipa Mine with Kinross who competed in The Clipper Round The World Sailing Race 2023/2024.
Jessica tells us about her experience of sailing around the world on a boat with 20 other people, lessons she learnt at sea and also comparing the experience to life as an expat in the mining industry. We discuss coping with stress in high pressure situations, personal growth through challenging ourselves, embracing the discomfort and how it has enhanced her leadership skills that she will now take to her new role in Chile with Kinross. We also talk about mentorship within the mining sector, her core values and the habits of effective leaders whilst also the future of the mining industry.
