Episode Synopsis
Finding freedom in the workplace.
In this episode, Sara Daw (group CEO of the CFO Center and the Liberti Group and author of the business books Strategy and Leadership as a Service: How the Access Economy meets the C-Suite and Executive Freedom: How to Escape the C-Suite, Create Income Security, and Take Back Control by Building a Part-Time Portfolio Career) talks to host Charlotte Otter about building a global business that helps individuals build portfolio careers.
Sara wanted to have a fulfilling career and also have some time at home during the week to raise her children, and started working as a fractional finance director. Now she runs a company allowing others to do the same across 17 countries.
Sara talks about how she builds deep trust and connection, and promotes psychological ownership amongst independent professionals. She details how her company actively worked to attract more women by adapting their language and communication strategies.
Sara discusses her leadership style, how she thinks about her reputation, and emphasises the importance of accessing both feminine and masculine energies in leadership, moving away from binary approaches to create more fluid and effective leadership styles.
