S04E1: Building resilience includes saying 'No', with Rachel Hopcroft, CBE

Rachel outlines to Sharon the importance of getting stuff done and for her, how it often means 'running towards the fire'. We’re excited to welcome Rachel Hopcroft CBE, Head of Corporate Affairs at KPMG UK, as our first guest. Rachel speaks candidly about her personal career journey, times when she had to prove herself, and the skills she credits for her own success: building her resilience, stepping out of her comfort zone, and problem-solving. She explains how stepping into the fire and learning the importance of getting stuff done early in her career continues to guide her today, and reflects on what more we can do to help Gen Z build resilience for the future.
