Have you ever pondered the true essence of leadership? Aleisha Jaeger, Director of Project Engineering at Kerry, joins us to unveil the tapestry of her own leadership path, one that wove through civil engineering and blossomed into a role that orchestrates engineering, sustainability, and more. With a candid recounting of her evolution, Aleisha illuminates how social finesse and adeptness in people management are indispensable, even when the work is rooted in technical expertise. Her voice brings warmth and substance to our conversation, especially as she reflects on her mission to uplift women in the workplace, a passion mirrored in her involvement with CREW, which champions female leaders in real estate.
Revelation and resilience are the cornerstones as our dialogue takes a turn towards the deeply personal—Alicia's narrative of facing her child's health crisis opens a window to understanding how hardship shapes empathetic leadership. It's a poignant reminder that the journeys we traverse outside office walls can profoundly influence our approach to guiding others.
