Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

My guest this week is Baroness Dido Harding, who is probably best known for her role as the Executive Chair of NHS Test & Trace during the Covid-19 pandemic, and for her role as the CEO of Talk Talk when they went through a significant cyber attack.
However, there is much more to Dido than those two roles. She has a fascinating business, public service and personal background and, in this really interesting interview, she openly shares a great deal about her highs, lows and overall leadership and personal journey. I really enjoyed this conversation and I very much hope you do too.
