    Kath Kennedy on leadership, pressure and growth

    In this episode, we sit down with Kath Kennedy, the General Manager of Supply Chain at Beiersdorf — the company behind brands like Nivea and Elastoplast. Right from the outset, Kath shows her leadership style. For her, leadership isn’t about pretending everything’s fine; it's okay to admit when things are tough. It’s more about how you show up and recover when challenges hit. This conversation gives a real glimpse behind the scenes of senior leadership — not the polished version, but the real day-to-day decisions, the pressure, the pace, and what it really takes to stay grounded and effective. Kath’s honesty, humour, and down-to-earth nature make this a really insightful and inspirational episode.

    Five fresh ideas for making mentoring work in 2025

    In this episode, I explore how to approach mentorship strategically in 2025, offering five key "needle movers" to help you find an exceptional mentor and maximise the relationship. In my view, mentorship should always be pursued with purpose and thoughtfulness, and be integrated into your broader career strategy. By focusing on the right relationships, mentorship can be a powerful tool for professional growth. And here's a quick tip, don't assume that seniority equates to effective mentorship. While senior leaders bring authority and experience, meaningful mentorship is about finding someone aligned with your goals who offers actionable insights, not just a prestigious title. Intrigued?

    What will your year story be?

    As the year wraps up, it's time to pause and reflect: What’s the story of your year? Is it a narrative of growth, connection, and small (or big) wins?

You’ll discover how to reframe your year, celebrate what truly matters, and shift your perspective to build positive momentum as you step into 2025. Whether you’re winding down for the holidays or still tying up loose ends, this episode is your reminder to recognise the moments that defined your year—both big and small—and rewrite a story you’re proud to tell.
