Jeannette is joined by Julie-Ann Haines, the CEO of Principality Building Society, for a discussion about how she achieved the success she's found, why it's okay to let go of things sometimes in order to bloom in your career, and how to best empower your teams to do their very best.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Career paths don't always move in a straight line. It's fine to test things out and find out about yourself along the way.
You have to let go to grow sometimes. Holding on to the same things can stunt your development, so know when to hand things off and look for a new challenge.
If you're empowering a team, then go all in on it. Teams can't gain a sense of trust unless they're allowed to shine in their own way.
Stakeholders are always in search of confidence. It's up to us as leaders to best define what that looks like and deliver wherever possible.
BEST MOMENTS
'I'm a proponent of squiggly careers'
'You have to let go to grow'
'That's where the trust with your team is so important'
'What all stakeholders need is confidence'
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Julie-Ann Haines
I was appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in September 2020. I joined the Society in 2007 to build and develop our award winning e-commerce business and was appointed the Society’s Customer Director in 2012. In May 2016 I was appointed to the Board with responsibility for strategy, marketing, distribution and leading the Society’s transformation programme as Executive Business Sponsor.
I am passionate about Principality, ensuring we build on our mutual ethos and values to build an organisation that is rooted in its communities, its fantastic customer experience and in meeting customer needs. My role is to ensure that we continue to build an organisation that is as relevant in the future as it is today, helping members to prosper in their homes.
Prior to Principality, I held a number of senior roles in sales, marketing and technology, working in leading customer centric businesses including Sainsbury’s, Reckitt Benckiser and HBOS. I was born and educated in Scotland, but Cardiff has been my home since 1999. I’m married to a Welshman and have two daughters. Outside of work I love cooking, walking and watching rugby and I’m a fan of all types of music.
