'If We Thought You Were Good Enough' - Professor Amanda Croft

This week’s podcast is with Professor Amanda Croft, my mum and a woman who is a massive inspiration to me and her encouragement is one of the main reasons I am where I am today. She's a woman who was told that she wasn't good enough, but thankfully she knew better and worked her way from nursing auxiliary, to Chief Executive of NHS Grampian. I hope that her story will inspire you as much as she's inspired me.
