In this deeply human and thought-provoking conversation on @ImpactLegacywithRania, 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗷𝗷𝗮𝗻𝗶, Global Board & Executive Advisor, Leadership Mentor and former Chief Audit & Risk Executive, engages with Lady 𝗦𝘂𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝘆𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗖𝗕𝗘 (Baroness Heywood of Whitehall), Chief Operating Officer of Exor, Chair of CNH Industrial and Iveco Group, Audit Committee Chair at The Economist, Director on various Boards, and former Senior Partner at McKinsey, to explore leadership, resilience and judgement forged through adversity and pressure.   From a childhood spent at sea navigating isolation and survival, educating herself independently and picking kiwi fruit to fund her escape, to leading at the highest levels of global business and public service, and from growing up in Lebanon in a war zone, navigating loss and rebuilding life across continents, to becoming a global advisor to boards and leaders, Suzanne and Rania bring a rare and powerful dual perspective on how lived experience shapes leadership.   This conversation goes beneath the surface of titles and achievements to explore how early experiences and adversity shape leadership, judgement and impact, how leaders remain steady when stakes are high, and why resilience is not only about endurance, but also about clarity, courage and decision-making under pressure.   Together, they reflect on: • The shift from survival to leadership • Remaining calm and clear in moments of chaos, pressure and uncertainty • The human dimension of leadership at the top • Legacy beyond titles, roles and recognition • A Chair's perspective on what boards truly value in governance, risk and audit leaders • Leadership in the context of AI and accelerating change • Life lessons for the next generation This conversation about leadership when it matters most is for you if you are a Board member, CEO, C-Suite Executive or Audit, Risk & Governance Leader or professional. 🎧 Watch here on 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗧𝘂𝗯𝗲 or listen on 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 | 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀 | 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 💬 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 • 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 • 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 and join the conversation shaping the future of the profession. 🔗 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗷𝗷𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 for more insights: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raniabejjani/ 📩 Explore Advisory, Mentoring & Leadership Development Programmes: [email protected] 🔗 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝘇𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝘆𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻: linkedin.com/in/suzanneheywood 📚 Suzanne Heywood’s books: 𝗪𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗿: 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0008498539 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0008353123 #resilience #leadershipunderpressure #riskmanagement #internalaudit #ai #impactlegacywithrania #impact #leadership #influence #thoughtleadership #legacy #raniabejjani #executiveleadership #boardleadership #governance #risk #GRC #decisionmaking #strategicleadership #humanleadership #courage #futureofleadership
