Episode 68: Self-care for professional performance: Cornelia Kaufmann, Chief Culture Officer, Bahlsen

Cornelia shares her experience of the pandemic, the mental and physical issues it led to, and how she responded with a new approach to caring for herself as part of her professional performance. Cornelia describes how caring sets the tone for leadership and performance at Bahlsen, as well as her work creating a culture trying new ideas and making mistakes to both come through challenges and uncover opportunities.
