In our latest episode, Adam is joined by Sue Schilling, CEO of Alopecia UK🌟
Having been first diagnosed with alopecia in primary school, Sue found her way to Alopecia UK when she lost all of her hair in her 40s. She says that on reflection, losing her hair challenged her to find her strengths, and that despite it taking a while to get there, she knows she's a better person and has developed a kinder outlook on the world.
In this insightful episode, Sue shares her leadership philosophy and the values that guide her work. Sue emphasises the importance of meeting her team where they are, fostering circular love as a core value, and building rooted connections in the workplace. She discusses the multifaceted role of a CEO in a small organization, wearing different hats and juggling various responsibilities. Sue finds energy and purpose in engaging directly with the community her charity supports, organising events, and providing support to individuals affected by alopecia. She highlights the transformative impact of creating safe spaces for people to embrace their identities without fear of judgment. Sue also reflects on her experience of the Barefoot Coaching Training Programme, sharing the significance of tools like perceptual positions in her work with young adults.
