In the first episode of Season 2, we sit down with Lucinda Pouw, VP People at Insify, for an open and energising conversation about growth, overcoming struggles, and leading with both instinct and intention.

Lucinda shares how early life experiences shaped her strong work ethic and mindset, and how creating stability for yourself can open the door to rediscovering the freedom and fun you might have missed along the way.

We explore what it really means to trust your gut in recruitment and leadership, and how experience helps you balance instinct with data. From starting her career in research to building opportunities abroad, Lucinda reflects on how she used her recruitment skills to create a role for herself in East Africa, a move that expanded both her professional and personal horizons.

We also dive into the energy of startup environments, the importance of embracing imperfection, and why acknowledging emotions at work can make teams stronger and more connected, especially, when there is “no HR for HR”.

Tune in for a conversation about curiosity, courage, and building meaningful careers, wherever they may take you.

Stay Keen,

Doeke Geertsma, CEO at WeAreKeen
