007 - Prue Mackenzie - Career Ambition

Prue Mackenzie is quite simply one of the most impressive people I have ever met. Beneath her easy going manner and quick wit lies formidable intelligence, a wickedly competitive streak and lofty ambition. Prue graduated from her commerce degree with honours and at the very top of the class. At 29 she became a vice president at the global financial giant Credit Suisse. She’s a Harvard Business School Graduate. Currently she’s a vice president at Aurizon - Australia’s largest freight company. All that is very impressive – especially when you consider that she’s only 35. But as you know, being impressive isn’t enough to get you on the Team Guru Podcast. The thing I most like about this chat with Prue is her keen awareness of herself as a person and as a leader. In this episode you’ll hear her talk explicitly about her journey as a leader, what she’s learned from mentors, the value she places on being part of a team, her thoughts on learning about the theory of leadership, and the challenges she has faced putting it into practice. This episode of the team guru podcast is custom built for anyone who wants to be inspired in their career, to pursue the best version of themself and to overcome the obstacles that might get in the way.
