Ep1: Welcome to Leadership in Hazardous Industries: Leanne Hughes interviews Nikki McMurray

The first episode has me handing the mic over to Leanne Hughes.  Leanne interviews me to find out about my leadership journey and what you can expect on the Leadership in Hazardous Industries podcast to support you on your journey of going from surviving to thriving.

Leanne hosts her own podcast called The First Time Facilitator and has worked in hazardous industries, so she knows a thing or two about podcasting and working hazardous environments. 

I couldn't have thought of a more equipped person to know the questions to ask, be comfortable behind a mic and have a great sense of humour!

Hope you enjoy listening in as much as we enjoyed making it for you.
