Unspoken Truths, with Wendy Walker


Listen Later

In this episode, Scott & Drago stir the pot with the fabulous Wendy Walker,  President of the International Advertisers Association (IAA) in Singapore. 

Formerly, Wendy's led marketing at brands such as Telstra, Bupa, Manulife, Mindshare, and Salesforce. She's worked across B2C and B2B in countrywide roles in Australia, and Asia regional, as well as in global roles since moving to Singapore in 2013.

We're talking about what she's learnt from her varied experience about leadership and marketing, but also about what it means to be human in a fast-paced and cut-throat commercial world. She's given voice to her thoughts in a rich and compelling new book Between Flights: Reflections on the Unspoken Truths of Leadership and Life

Wendy is a generous guest and shares her unique reflections and real-life stories on:

- Why she's decided to write this book now

- How she defines leadership

- What the 'window seat' metaphor represents and why it's important

- How one can make practical use of the book's lessons using exercises such as 'Personal Boardroom' (exercises are also available in the book)

- Why it's important to be vulnerable, but how this could be problematic for a female leader

- How one can balance speed with self-care
