Margaret Heffernan | APG Podcast | Episode 7 - a podcast by APG Podcast

On 8th October 2018, we held our annual Strategy Conference focusing on 'Contrarian Thinking'. Among the speakers, included Margaret Heffernan, an international businesswoman, author, interviewer, and TED speaker.

Just a few of the practical pieces of advice she gave included:

-Ensure you have real friends at work not just colleagues.
-Get enough sleep as it is the bedrock of mental wellbeing.
-Accept that collaborations are not always harmonious – the best ones are often scrappy in the quest to do something great and a nay-sayer can crystalise your thinking most effectively.
-Be willing to speak up if you see things that you don’t believe should be happening.
-Be open to the fact that you might not be right and be open to asking searching questions.
-What would we see if we were wrong?
