It's a long way from being a little girl in a catholic elementary school to becoming the CEO of Farm Credit Canada, but Justine Hendricks takes it all in stride. For her, Dignity is a cornerstone of her leadership style.

This is a story about being different, growing up being a "first", facing obstacles head-on and leading with respect and dignity. Justine's leadership story has some unexpected twists and turns in it. She credits her banking experience for learning that the customer must always be at the centre of everything an organization does. She credits her mother for setting an example for her as to what women's leadership is all about. Moments in time and leaning into yourself are at the core of this story.

This is a not-to-be-missed episode for all aspiring women leaders. Tune in to hear Justine's golden rules about leadership, how she continues to think about personal growth every day in her job, and how she focuses on the little things, the small interactions every day with people to move the needle on performance indicators.

"When you remove those roadblocks and you create the art of the possible, it's fascinating to watch what happens next" - Justine Hendricks

Mary is one of the co-founder of Sweet but Fearless. Sweet but Fearless is a successful women's network that aims to accelerate the advancement of frontline women leaders within the workplace. It is also a podcast hosted by Mary! In this podcast episode, we're going to hear all about Mary's "Why?" and how Sweet but Fearless started. "A lot of the time we look at it as if there's a pie and if I give you a piece, I get less of the pie but negotiating is so much broader than that. It's about making the pie bigger." - Mary Sullivan
