Doing the 'work' to create a life you love- Michelle Barrett- Lotus People

from Women who Recruit · host Laura

This episode is extremely special to me, and not just because Michelle is one of my best friends in the world, but because watching her professional and personal journey over the last 12 years has been nothing short of inspiring. Michelle is testament to the fact that hard work, commitment, and a willingness to learn and grow will bring you boundless success in our industry. And the journey has not been without its challenges along the way.In this episode we dive into Michelle’s early career in recruitment, how she almost walked away, and what caused her to stick it out to become one of Australia’s highest billing temp business support Consultants.We talk about her transition into leadership and the identify shifts that came with it, her adult ADHD diagnosis, pushing outside of her comfort zone and the deep personal work she has done to get her where she is today. Michelle is an incredible human who continually challenges herself to grow, shows up wholeheartedly for others, and has intentionally built a life she loves.I'm so grateful she shared her story with such honesty and vulnerability. Alongside the deeper conversations, we also had plenty of laughs, and I hope you find this episode as uplifting, inspiring, and enjoyable as I did.
