How do you ignite self-belief in people? Especially when they lack relatable role models.

Exploring the answer to that question serves as the north star for Maud's conversation with Penny Ransom, Chief Investment Officer at LendLease, who mines her own experiences as both a mentee and mentor for insights you won't want to miss.

The pair take on how mentors can guide people to make sound career choices by better understanding their role in the relationship. As Penny observes: a mentor's strength isn't in offering direct advice, but rather encouraging mentees to examine their options and explore what's most important to them.

Delving more deeply into leadership, Penny and Maud also unpack the misconception that higher-level leadership roles demand more work. They break down how seniority should mean greater flexibility not less, and how effectively delegating to a team creates more space to balance personal and professional commitments.
