#18 Margaret Dreyer - Women have to be 12/10 to go for a role

Margaret is a Senior Audit Partner and the National Inclusion, Diversity and Wellbeing Leader at Deloitte and has been recognised in the AFR 100 Women of Influence. Arriving in Adelaide in a key leadership role, Margaret was not prepared to hit the newspaper headlines. So rare was a female leader that it was front-page news. From that point, Margaret has been a champion for women in the workplace. Together we discuss; the desire to do good things and the self-doubt that holds you back, how vulnerable situations impact our ability to think logically and have a presence. We discuss the difference between a mentor and a sponsor, and the power of a sponsor who guides you on what not to do. Margaret shares how she finds her voice and why women are too humble. -----------------------   Craving inspiration?
