About This Episode

In this episode I am delighted to be in conversation with Rachel Eyre, Chief Customer and Marketing Officer at Morrisons. We delve together into:

- How influencing starts with self-awareness, you are your own data bank - use it;

- How leading with pride, courage, and conviction and not being a ‘paranoid overachiever’ matter in leadership;

- The importance of building your career around your strengths, whilst plugging the gaps;

- The importance of being nice, and remembering we are all human beings.

Rachel’s Three Key Encouragements to Leaders and Marketing Leaders:

1. Feel the fear and do it anyway
2. Believe in yourself, back yourself, use your own data - you are your own data bank, draw on it, and replenish it
3. Be a decent person, how you make people feel matters

About Rachel Eyre

I first met Rachel on the Marketing Leaders Programme and immediately warmed to her, was inspired and committed to her success. I have followed her leadership journey ever since and was thrilled in March 2023 to see Rachel listed as one of the top ten most powerful women in the supermarket industry! Her being included in and on this list was not a surprise, and look forward to seeing where her leadership takes her!
