Solidarity Hour... The One With Georgie Dickins
After 20 years successfully working in Financial Services in the City of London, Georgie found herself one day on her 4 hour daily commute questioning whether this was still the right path for her. She had two young boys to inspire and knew there was a bigger impact she was destined to make. She found herself a coach to help her figure out what brings her joy and makes her feel alive. As a result of this exploration, she started the next part of her journey coaching Senior Executives. Through each of their stories, she found herself most curious about a “golden nugget of wisdom” that they wanted to share. Their shares inspired her so much that she decided to seek out what she’s coined “stratospheric” CEOs. Those that are operating at a stratospheric level of financial success and impact in the FinTech world. She currently has 7 of these big hitters talking to her regularly as she dives into their stories. We can’t wait for her book!
