Yemi Penn is a fearless businesswoman, thought leader, and rebel. An Engineer by profession and an entrepreneur by passion, Yemi fuses analytical thinking with creativity to create magic. Transformation is the theme across Yemi’s contributions, whether it’s opening an F45 gym in London or a café in Sydney’s South-West Suburbs, authoring a book, managing complex projects such as Crossrail and Sydney Metro, or even producing impactful documentaries on healing collective trauma.
In episode seven of "Experts Unleashed," Atlassian's Dom Price chats with Yemi about finding your identity, eliminating the fictitious box we place ourselves in, and unlocking creativity through play. They discuss how only when you’re able to be your authentic self can you avoid the exhaustion and burnout that come with having multiple identities, as well as how to trade in the box we find ourselves in for a lane of our choosing. The stories in this episode from both Yemi and Dom will pull you in!
They also discuss the "My User Manual" Play from Atlassian's Team Playbook. It's an exercise designed to help leaders share with their teams and teammates HOW they work. Think of it like this: when you buy a TV, it comes with a User Manual. But when you hire a human, there's no such helpful guidance. Yemi takes us through her User Manual and shares three unfiltered things that are true about her.
