In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Virginie Faucon, Former Global Chief Marketing Officer, Growth Expert, Board Advisor, Mentor, and Executive Coach at BBC Maestro.

It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and authentic in the workplace. In this episode,
Virginie shares how it took her 20 years to take off the mask she had been wearing and just embrace her own authenticity.

We also delve into the reality of making tough decisions and the time that standing up for her team actually cost Virginie her job.

Key takeaways include:
● How being open about having low confidence can impact those around you
● Why taking a couple of steps back can actually grow your career
● The power of building your personal brand

Virginie is the former CMO at BBC Maestro and Clim8 and an award-winning marketing leader with 20 years experience in setting up marketing functions from inception to acceleration and delivering commercial growth.
