My guest today is Charmaine Soh, Singapore Netball Captain & Shooter, Netball Academy Founder, and Corporate Warrior,
I have known Charmaine for many years now, but I never knew that behind that bubbly Netball shooter and skipper, lay dark periods of self-doubt and an episode of possible premature retirement. With more than a decade representing Singapore in Netball and the last five years in leadership, Charmaine has hundreds of international caps and is literally THE face of Singapore Netball.
Enjoy Charmaine’s candid and very cheerful personality through this episode and hear how she puts believe into action and pushes through failures and setback in the team sport of Netball and applies these values to her professional life.
Welcoming Charmaine Soh.
