In this episode, I’m talking to Margaret Brown about what it really takes to rebuild your life when it feels like everything has been stacked against you.

We talk about childhood wounds, self-worth, difficult relationships, and the moments that force you to decide who you want to become next. Margaret shares her journey with real honesty, and it is both moving and deeply inspiring.

We also talk about the work she does today as an award-winning executive leadership coach, organisational development specialist, and bestselling author of Culture Pays.

With more than 35 years of experience, Margaret now helps leaders build values-led cultures where people stay, thrive, and give their best. She also shares how her LeaderShift© model grew from everything she has lived through and learned along the way.
