What does it mean to lead without needing to have all the answers?

In this episode, Sabine Hutchison sits down with Susan Braakman—people leader, mentor, and quiet force of nature—to talk about the power of presence, perspective, and choosing growth over safety.

Susan shares how her first big career leap came when she was just 28—and how that decision shaped a leadership path centered on empathy, trust, and real human connection.

She also reflects on a key coaching moment that helped her see her impact in a new light—and how that led her to pursue mediation, active listening, and non-judgmental leadership as tools for lasting change.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you're ready for your next step, this episode is your reminder:
You don’t need to know everything.
You just need to be willing to learn—and to lead with heart.
