What you'll learn:

Courtney Johnston, ex-CEO of Te Papa, New Zealand’s national museum, is raw, honest, and an absolute privilege to listen to. Her approach of ‘radical transparency’ will resonate and make you more comfortable with ‘how’ you show up (sneakers, f-bombs and all)!

💡 You don’t have to feel ready: It’s not about feeling ready for a new opportunity but exploring if it’s the right fit. She emphasises the mantra of ‘If not you, then who?’ and highlights the importance of understanding how they’ll help you succeed.

💡 Building and relying on a support network: Courtney shares how important it is to build a support network by reaching out and making connections, even if it feels awkward! Learn how, over one year, she found ‘her people’.
