I'm Jacqueline Shepherd and I'm delighted to present Taking the LEAP™ - conversations with people with people who have turned their passions into a profession, some who stepped way outside of their comfort zone, but ultimately they've all, taken the LEAP. LEAP is an acronym I created, it stands for Listen, Equip, Action Patience™ steps whether knowingly or not most people who have successfully taken the leap have followed. Me: After a few years working in the charity sector, followed by a career as a recruitment consultant – I decided to follow my passion and took the LEAP to work in media. A decade on, having hosted a Sky One, Saturday morning TV show for a number of years, voiced the premium content for a successful sports channel and hosted content for some of the UK's most loved brands, I’m combining my presenting experience and love for inspiring stories and service, in this podcast, all about taking the LEAP.
