In this insightful and deeply human episode of The Secret Resume, psychologist, former CEO, and executive coach Penny Moyle reflects on the lessons that shaped her:  from moving alone to Brazil at 18 to leading one of the UK’s most respected psychology consultancies, OPP (now the Myers Briggs Company). Penny shares honest stories about juggling motherhood with academia (including breastfeeding while typing), navigating mergers and acquisitions, and learning how to build a career on her own terms. She opens up about what she’s learned through decades of leadership, from managing change and supporting teams through uncertainty, to choosing joy and meaning in later life. You’ll hear: What living in Brazil taught Penny about courage, independence and not always being a good girl The reality of combining career and childcare in academia What it really means to “walk the talk” during organisational change How she found purpose and confidence after leaving a CEO role Why she’s not planning to retire anytime soon, and the value of choosing work and clients that bring joy This episode is an inspiring reminder that success isn’t just about milestones, it’s about learning to enjoy the journey.   You can connect with Penny here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/penny-moyle-8596572/ Penny's book recommendation:  Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - https://amzn.to/4q97S2x   If you want to take our Entrepreneurial Leader Diagnostic, you can do so here: https://liberare-el2.scoreapp.com   The transcript that shows on your screen is automatically generated, therefore we cannot guarantee it is 100% accurate.  You can access a copy of the full transcript here: https://shorturl.at/VWUAZ   The Secret Resume podcast is a Liberare Consulting production.  You can contact us at podcast@liberareconsulting.co.uk and can buy Melody's book 'The Inclusive Team: How to Build and Develop Inclusive High Performing Teams' or a copy of our Inclusive Teams conversation Cards here: https://shorturl.at/XspUX  Use the code podcast10 to get a 10% discount on all of the items on our product page.   Or why not join our community to get access to exclusive benefits and be the first to hear updates and news https://liberare-consulting.ck.page/community   If you are interested in becoming a guest on our show, please fill in the form here: https://liberare-consulting.ck.page/podcast_guest   We are an Amazon affiliate and receive a very small commission if you buy books through our Amazon links.
