Progressing Lives Through Emotionally Intelligent Leadership with Nicky Lowe

We're thrilled to welcome Nicky Lowe, entrepreneur, accredited Executive Coach and podcaster to the latest episode of The Progressing Lives Everywhere Podcast!

 

Nicky has a slew of accolades to her name; double entrepreneur, award-winning coach, and most importantly: working mum. Her experiences of becoming a parent, led her to leave behind her successful career in a high-flying corporate job and set her on a path to provide wisdom to working mums.

 

In this episode, Nicky shares insights aplenty; including why wisdom for working mums is important, above wisdom for working parents, knowing when to take a leap of faith in your career, attracting the best talent and the importance of managing your energy. It's safe to say, this episode is packed with implementable advice and savvy tips.

 

Hosted by Natasha Crump, ESG Director at Amoria Bond Group, this episode is an informative and educational listen for anyone seeking to understand more about career progression and satisfaction, alongside balancing being a parent alongside working.
