Sarah Furness Biography
How do you lead high performing teams, who are robust, driven but also emotionally intelligent? How do you lean into failure so you can grow as an organisation, whilst unapologetically striving for excellence? How do we lead inclusively, when do we make bold decisions, when do we ask for help? How do you create psychological safety?
Wherever you are on your leadership journey, “getting it right” can feel like a big ask. And just when you think you’ve mastered it, the rules of game change, for our idea of “good” leadership is constantly evolving.
Don’t worry - you’re not in this alone.
