Listen to The Last Mile with Sally Campbell, a lively conversation about finding your place and your people.

I felt I could put my best foot forward. And it also means, I felt I could fail, and that I could openly ask for help, or I could get access to things when I needed them.

It gave me confidence to be myself in that environment, which really mattered. We’re all different and different practices are a bit different fit for us. Finding the right fit matters because it gives us that confidence to unlock our potential. Sometimes the right fit for us is different at different times in our lives as well.

Sally Campbell

Sally talks about two requirements for unlocking your true potential – finding your people and an environment where you feel safe to fail. Unlocking potential is different for everyone. She discusses what it takes to elevate people into whatever they want for their careers, exploring a range of ideas, experiences and motivations.
