Leading with Curiosity: Kerryn Greenleaf on Women, Leadership & Iconic Brands

Loading player...
How do you lead a famously masculine brand like Carling Black Label when you're not the target market? For Kerryn Greenleaf, Brand Director at South African Breweries, the answer is simple: lead with radical curiosity and humanity.

In this powerful conversation for Women's Month (and beyond!), Kerryn shares her incredible journey and the philosophy that drives her success:
🔥 Why NOT being the consumer is her biggest advantage and how leading with questions, not answers, builds iconic brands.
đź’Ą "Don't Leave Before You Leave": The crucial Sheryl Sandberg lesson every ambitious woman needs to hear about navigating career and family.
🤝 Humanity is the new superpower: In a world of AI, why empathy, curiosity, and showing up as your human self are the ultimate professional assets.
🏆 Sit at the table: Why physically and metaphorically claiming your space is the first step to leadership.

From the energy of a 75,000-strong soccer stadium to the boardroom, this is a masterclass in modern leadership, proving that the key to lifting profits is to first lift people.

Tune in to The Lucky Hustle for more inspiring conversations that move you forward.
