On this episode we're tackling the topic of stepping into leadership for the first time.

Whether you're excited or daunted by the prospect, today's guests are here to share their experiences and insights into this big transition.

Emma has 12 years of leadership under her belt, while Sana is right at the start of her journey, having just stepped into her first leadership role this year at the age of 21.

We discuss what leadership really is, what Emma wishes she'd known when she was a first-time leader, and what advice Sana has for senior managers working with new leaders to help everyone have a great experience.  You'll hear about each of their paths to leadership, and Sana's inspiring thoughts on designing your life without following the well-trodden path.

Guests:
Sana Aboarook, Programme Coordinator at Agent Academy
Emma Dodd, Squad Lead at Auto Trader
