Mother's Day brings varied emotions and reflections for many of us, and it takes on many different forms, as you will see reflected in the stories of today's guests. This special podcast episode takes a heartfelt look at motherhood's role in crafting leaders. We're joined by two extraordinary women, Cora and Gloria, our own mothers, who bring a rich tapestry of experiences and wisdom.

Many of these lessons were instilled in our childhood homes and have become the bedrock of our leadership philosophies. These include -

Respecting others
Giving people around us space to grow while nurturing development
Seeing the potential in others that they don't see in themselves
Making calculated risks
Listening
Allowing and encouraging questions
Having faith
Leaning on our villages

This list is by no means exhaustive, but it gives you a glimpse of the nuggets of wisdom you will glean from this episode.
