In the latest episode of the Bite-Sized Leadership Podcast (LEAD Network UK), Dunke Afe speaks with Louise Robbie, Head of Product at Cawston Press, about her leadership journey β€” from big corporates to entrepreneurship to driving inclusion today.

Here are the highlights:

πŸ”Ή Resilience with space β€” hold strong, but leave room for people and ideas to grow.

πŸ”Ή Purpose matters β€” always ask: Does it help? Does it enable?

πŸ”Ή Evolving style β€” thriving in ambiguity is more powerful than having all the answers.

πŸ”Ή Equity in action β€” through Female Plus Forward, Louise is ensuring diverse voices are heard, with clear business impact.

πŸ”Ή Lessons to remember β€” pace + patience, treat feedback wisely, and build self-awareness early.

πŸ’‘ Leadership isn’t about perfection. It’s about purpose, resilience, and creating space where others can thrive.
