Sarah Otten is a highly successful Senior Leader in the Biotech & Pharmaceutical Industry and I had the honor and pleasure to interview her in May 2020.
During the interview, Sarah gave an honest & inspiring account of the challenges she’s overcome, the leader she’s become, and some excellent advice to help us all step into who we aspire to be.
There is a series of 12 short videos that show the importance of aspiration for any female leader. The important thing about an aspiring female leader is that you have to keep going – you have to take the knocks. Being successful is not easy and although it might look like it – it takes hard work, sweat and grit.
