S5E8: Rowena Leslie from Kai Rho Contracting

Hello listeners! We're sharing another FW podcast we think you'll love called Too Much. In it, FW founder and managing director Helen McCabe speaks to high-achieving women who overcame suffocating stereotypes, bucked trends, disrupted systems and refused to quit. Women who built careers by forging their own paths. Does cockiness make you better at your job? That's what former Matildas star Lydia Williams was told when she rose to the sport's top flight. Williams joins McCabe to reflect on her journey as a Matilda and how she pushed past being labelled “too humble” at key points in her career.  Liked this episode?
