#71 Michelle Winzer - My perfectionism made others feel they weren’t good enough

Self-awareness and asking for feedback is critical for any leader. So is listening and changing. Join Michelle Winzer and I as we discuss how she let go of perfectionism, viewed her “selfish” decision to undertake an MBA as the best investment she ever made and her way of tackling the inner critic who sits on her shoulder. Michelle is a truly brave feminine leader. Open, down to earth, vulnerable, and always learning, Michelle has operated at the highest levels of corporate life as CEO of Bank of Melbourne. After 30 years in banking, Michelle joined RACQ as Group Executive Banking in December 2020. I hope you enjoy this refreshing conversation with Michelle as we continue to share what it is really like to lead organisations and to navigate our careers as strong, confident female leaders.
