Vicky Ferrier on Writing Herself Into Being  - Mid-Career Reckoning, Courage, and Leading for Good

What if your mid-career reckoning became an awakening — a chance to realign your strengths, values and purpose?

In this episode, Ruth Kearns Wollmann speaks with Vicky Ferrier, Chief People and Commercial Officer at Konsileo — a commercial insurance firm with no managers. Vicky shares insights from her rich and varied career. In particular, she shares how she navigated the messy middle of her career, rediscovered what truly mattered, and began writing her way into a future she could believe in.

From self-doubt to self-authorship, from leadership principles to finding the right people, this is an honest and uplifting conversation about growth, identity, and leading for good — at work and in life.

Vicky also supports young leaders globally through her work with WYSE, a UN-affiliated leadership development charity.

Shed Shedletzky on Leadership that Makes a Difference & Speak Up Culture

Friday, February 14, 2025 • Duration 44:42

Stephen (Shed) Shedletzky is an author, speaker, facilitator, and coach whose work is all about empowering leaders to cultivate trusting, purpose-driven workplaces.

His first book, Speak Up Culture, explores how and why great leaders make it “safe and worth it” to speak up—and why it matters.

In our conversation, Shed shares the formative experiences that led him to his purpose, including:
🔹 Growing up with a stutter and how it shaped his perspective
🔹 Witnessing 1,000 colleagues let go on his first day at his first job
🔹 Discovering Simon Sinek’s work on purpose, deciding he wanted to work for him—and making it happen
🔹 Taking the leap to start his own company and write his book

Along the way, we dive into all things leadership, including:
✅ What challenges can teach us—and how weaknesses can become gifts
✅ Psychological safety, speak-up culture, and servant leadership
✅ The legacy Shed hopes to leave—including his plans for his next book

Shed’s book "Speak Up Culture" is wise, practical, and a great read—I highly recommend it!

Maria de la Hera on Embracing Your Choices

Friday, June 16, 2023 • Duration 33:24

Maria de la Hera has over 25 years of experience in International Marketing, Sales and General Management with 18 of those years working in the luxury sector.

Several years ago, Maria chose to leave the corporate world and found her sweetspot as a board member. She serves on the board of advisors for several companies including Valeur Absolue perfumes and Familia Torres.

In this interview, she shares with me how she navigated her career over the past 30 years and how she made and embraced choices at each stage. Her story took us from her first move to Switzerland as a young, newly married Spanish literature graduate seeking to establish herself in the professional world, through the way she worked her way up from being an assistant to being a corporate executive, and finally to her most recent decision to leave the corporate world behind her and embrace not only a new professional adventure but also a new lifestyle.

Over the years, Maria learned a lot about making choices, preparing for the change that they would bring, and always staying true to who she is at her core.

She calls out 3 key principles for a successful and fulfilling career:

1. Seek out mentors and learning a priority.

2. Be bold then embrace your choices.

3. Prepare yourself for the change ahead logistially and emotionally.

Rebecca Wardell on the Power of Audacious Goals

Friday, May 5, 2023 • Duration 31:15

Rebecca Wardell is a former New Zeland Olympic heptathlete and extreme cyclist who currently works at the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne.

Rebecca's career so far has been quite the ride, literally and metaphorically. Her story is one of pursuing her dreams and goals through passion, adventure, perseverance, and re-invention.

Rebecca has always enjoyed sport, and competing in the Olympics was a childhood dream. After leaving school she focused on athletics, but it was only in 2004, having missed out qualifying for 400m hurdles in Athens, that she chose to pick up heptathlon. She rose to the challenge and competed in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Despite her doctor trying to convince her to retire in 2010 she insisted she wanted to give London 2012 a go, but unfortunately she tore a hamstring and couldn't qualify.

Retiring from athletics at 34, she had to discover a new professional identity when most of her peers were already 10 years into their career. Her work led her to Switzerland to the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne where she continued to be connected into the sporting world and picked up road cycling for fun.

It was on one of her road trips with 2 other New Zealand friends that they first started talking about cycling 20,000km home to New Zealand. And so in 2018 that Rebecca quit her job and set off for a trip that would last 385 days across 17 countries. It was a crazy, audacious goal that required courage, resilience, and a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" attitude.

In this interview you will hear Rebecca talk about her "Long Way Home" as she calls it, including:

Why she set off in the first place

What she learned along the way and

How it led her full circle back to Lausanne and her passion for the Olymypic movement.

Learning to show up as your best self at work with Bethany Foresman

Friday, September 30, 2022 • Duration 25:29

Bethany Foresman is a Director of Analytics & Insights at Procter & Gamble.

A few years ago, Bethany was working in a team where she was well-established and respected by her business partners when she had a change of line manager. Her new boss was really good at what she did, and Bethany admired her. She both wanted to learn from her and impress her. However, her boss had a very different profile in terms of strengths, and Bethany found herself losing her confidence in her own ability to add value.

It's not unusual to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to someone who is successful, but who has a completely different strength profile from you, and then trying to be a poor version of them rather than the best version of yourself. The question is, how can you step back from comparison, and step up to being your best self?

In this episode, Bethany tells the story of how, with coaching support, she was able to turn her situation around. She stepped back to recognise her own strengths and her unique purpose. She created practices that enabled apply her strengths positively to show up at her best and add value. She intentionally sought feedback from people she could trust, built her confidence and turned the complementary styles of her and her boss from a lose for her, into a win-win-win for her, her boss and the team.

Ruth Kearns Wollmann on the Outer & Inner Journeys of Change & Transition

Thursday, August 18, 2022 • Duration 35:10

Ruth is a Leadership Development Coach, Facilitator and Podcaster. She loves coaching established and emerging leaders to step up to new challenges in work and life from a place of strength, authenticity and purpose.

In previous roles Ruth has been a postdoctoral research psychologist, a consumer insights leader, a business executive and a pastor. Ruth's career may have had its fair share of twists and turns, but there is core thread: Her passion for understanding people and empowering them to show up more fully, stand up for what matters, and step up to make the biggest difference they can make for good.

Ruth has been through many transitions in her life, but 10 years ago she made 2 big changes within a few months: She left her corporate career to take on a pastoral role in a church, and she got married.

In this episode Ruth talks to her husband Daniel about her experience of change and transition during that part of her journey. She shares how the inner journey of transition and the outer journey of change are like a dance. Sometimes our inner journey of growth leads and initiates an outer change. Sometimes an outer change or event, like moving house or job, starting or ending a close relationship initiates an inner journey of personal transition, adaptation and ultimately growth.

At the end she summarizes 3 things we can do to help us navigate change and transition:

1. Seek Inner Clarity: Know yourself, your strengths, values, purpose and principles. These things act like an anchor and a compass to guide your choices.

2. Seek Outer Clarity: Face the reality of your current situation. Are you set up for success and growth? What needs to change for you to thrive?

3. Create your own support structure: This includes people, systems and processes that keep you healthly and productive, and provide compassionate perspective, feedback and accountability.
