About In the Chair
In the Chair, the Governance Forum podcast, is hosted by Tom Ward. Tom chats with highly experienced and profile senior office holders in public bodies and public benefit entities (e.g. as Chair, Chief Executive) to explore their experiences, insights and lessons learned but equally to reflect on the human side of occupying a senior position and the pressures, stresses and perhaps joy that can arise. www.governance.ie
