Better Under Pressure - A podcast by Sara Milne Rowe - Thursdays

Categories:

Today I’m talking to Alina Addison, ex-accountant, ex-investment banker, executive coach, and now author. Alina left Romania as a young adult. Soon afterwards, she went into accountancy with PwC before joining Rothschild & Co. There, she became the first woman to be promoted to Managing Director and Head of Trading—all while working four days a week. In her book, The Audacity Spectrum, Alina combines personal experience with extensive research to share her mission. She wants to ignite audacious leadership in people through a bold mix of courage, care, and nonconformity. In our conversation, Alina shares… - What she learnt from being that boarding school toddler, - Why her life changed thanks to a friend’s audacious question, and - How she ended up completing two degrees in two countries—at the same time!
