EPISODE 20: MEET JULIE OCKERBY, AWARD WINNING DESIGNER & SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR

Julie Ockerby made the leap from nursing to design, and that experience still shapes how she works today. Now an award-winning designer and serial entrepreneur specialising in aged care, healthcare and boutique hotel design, Julie has built a career around human-centric, experiential spaces — and around leading on her own terms.In this episode, Melissa Ashcroft speaks with Julie about the career shift that changed everything, the leadership lessons that came with building multiple businesses, and what it's taken to lead in an industry where women haven't always been well represented at the top. They speak openly about what it actually takes to make a bold career shift, the lessons that experience left her with, and how it's shaped the way she leads, mentors and designs today. Julie also delivers arguably the strongest Q&A round we've had on the podcast so far, so make sure you listen to the end for that! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
