#014 : Reinventive contribution: Leaving a legacy, being a role model and not being afraid to ask questions

Today I speak to Jacqui Spencer. Jacqui has been working in the healthcare industry for over 30 years and is the founder of Anything is Possible. She shares interesting reflections on how she’s built up confidence to be herself when surrounded by more experienced people, reflections on the three stages of career people tend to follow and the foundations of building strong teams.  

What you’ll hear about:

  • Believing in your authenticity when you feel out of your depth

  • Awareness of being someone early in your career may come back to bite you

  • Not being afraid to ask questions and show vulnerability

  • Hire great people!

  • Understanding a team you lead are what make you successful as a leader

  • Leaving a legacy 

  • Wanting to be a role model

  • Finding how to connect to people 

  • 3 career stages

    • Idealistic achievement, Pragmatic endurance, Reinventive contribution

  • Foundations of good teams

  • What to do to build trust

  • Focus on being the best version of yourself in a team
