Jen-U-ine Conversations

Do you have a significant photo or memory from your life? For Catherine Fitzgerald it's a photo of the opera house in Sidney, Australia. Catherine took a picture of it when on her very first trip alone, after raising three boys and entering a new chapter of her life. Catherine had been a CEO and had started coaching them. As Catherine looked back over her life, she recognized that she had learned many lessons from one of her brothers who died young and dealt with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). She found that her own vulnerability, while embracing humanity with humility, allowed her to appear more accessible as a leader.
