Bolstered and resilient. That’s how we all want to feel after
we’ve been through a crucible. And this week’s guest, Vanessa
Vershaw, is known as the CEO whisperer because she has an
impressive track record of helping leaders arrive at that very
destination.
In her conversation with Warwick, Vershaw speaks candidly
about her own crucibles – some she’s never spoken publicly about
before – which include being bullied in school and as a leader in
the workplace, often by other women.
She’s emerged from those challenges to help organizations and
those who run them reimagine their future, creating strategies and
orchestrating experiences that ensure they thrive.
To do so, she explains, they have to commit to shifting
mindsets from desperately holding onto past practices to being open
to new approaches and possibilities. It’s ground she covers in her
latest book, Unreasonable Ambition: Renegade Thinking for Leaders
to Create Impossible Change.
The principles she shares in the book, and in this episode,
she says, help her clients believe in magic and miracles.
