Description
I’m delighted to share my conversation with Donna Speed, Chief Executive of Bristol science centre and educational charity, We The Curious. Located on the harbourside, We The Curious is one of the city's leading family attractions, operating at the heart of the community.
Donna started her career at Alton Towers and moved to Bristol when We The Curious (previously named At-Bristol) opened in 2000 and has worked her way up the ranks to the position of Chief Executive.
It is Donna's positive approach that has driven her through the challenges of the past few years in particular. From losing 20,000 Twitter followers, to having to drastically reduce capacity due to COVID restrictions, and not to mention having to cut a third of her team, it's been tough.
Donna is one of the kindest and most empathic people I’ve met. And what Donna regards as her Chief Exec hack – enabling people to be brilliant – says it all. It’s just so infectious when people love what they do.
For anyone who runs a business managing staff, you need to listen to this episode.
