Show Notes

In this episode of Dear 21-Year-Old Me, with guest Katherine Rich.

  • We go back in time to 1988, when our guest, Katherine Rich, turned 21, and look at what was happening in the world, and closer to home back then.

  • Katherine reflects on her experiences growing up in Dunedin, New Zealand, and then how she eventually got involved in politics.
     
  • We talk about how Katherine approached some significant public policy debates during her time in Parliament and how she stayed true to her principles.

  • Katherine looks back on her parliamentary career, including being a mother in Parliament, and her leadership lessons from her time during Parliament and since then as an industry association CEO.

  • Katherine talks about her mentors, her inspirations, and what she's learned along the way, and why she went back and did more study.

  • We ask Katherine what she'd say to her 21-year-old self, and what Katherine at 21 would say to Katherine now.
