18 | Cherie Canning, Founder of Luminate Leadership: premature birth, redundancies and restructures during maternity leave, and taking a chance on herself

Launch Mama Podcast

Today I am joined by Mama, Cherie Canning. Cherie is a training facilitator and coach, Mum, and Director/Founder of Luminate Leadership. With two decades of leading and developing leaders at Luminate and previously at Flight Centre Travel Group, her authentic communication style and engaging workshop content continue to deliver results and leave a lasting impact.
When Cherie and her husband Andy were thrown a COVID redundancy curve ball in 2020, it was time for the next chapter in their careers. There was not a doubt in Cherie's mind about the kind of work she wanted to do; it was to speak and facilitate workshops to inspire and influence the development of leaders.
Cherie is known for her passionate energy, a genuine love for people and raw vulnerability and authentic style that shines through in all that she does. Her intention is to embrace and enhance the human based Leadership skills such as connection, empathy, collaboration, and courage in as many Leaders as possible.

On this episode we talk about Cherie's career journey to-date, with her experience having a child at 25 weeks pregnant, being made redundant during maternity leave, and finally taking a chance on herself to launch her amazing biz!
