Alexandra, Nicole and Craig chat about:

  • The very different journeys that led them to where they are now.
  • The importance of purpose on this “wild and bumpy ride of being human” and why we need to be flexible with our definitions.
  • The what and the how of job-sharing in a senior role along with the value of shared thinking and expertise.
  • Different ways of holding leadership and sharing knowledge and power.
  • The differences between feminine and masculine energies and what that means for leadership.
