Chief Executive of the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), Adriènne Kelbie has an exceptional understanding of the true power of communication and engagement. The first woman to take up the lead role at the ONR, Adriènne describes herself as an outlier, markedly different from other chief executives.

In this episode, Adriènne and Katie discuss a wide array of topics, from what it means to be a role model, to the difference between transparency and accessibility. Adriènne also gives us especially good advice on failure through her own experiences, explaining that ‘your comfort zone is not your friend’. Adriènne firmly believes that true leaders coach and develop those around them to be their best selves.
