Risk-taking and learning how to pitch are two vital business skills, according to Ann Sherry, CEO of the world’s largest cruise ship operator.

In this new herBusiness podcast, Ann reveals the leadership skills that have helped her path to success, how to make your pitch heard and why she thinks women still aren’t gaining equal representation in executive positions.

Ann Sherry’s career has been celebrated in the Australian Businesswomens Network’s Hall of Fame, which recognises the achievements of Australia’s inspiring businesswomen.

 

Listen to this herBusiness interview with Ann Sherry to learn:

  • Why risk taking is important for leaders to embrace
  • How to approach pitching your ideas so that you get traction on them
  • And  we look at some of the reasons that women still aren’t getting the corner office – whether that means a senior role in a corporation or just respect and authority as a leader. I think you’ll find Ann’s insights useful
