Maud Lindley speaks with Renee Law, COO of Atomic Group, about the leadership lessons which shaped her global career, and the mentoring moments that have had the greatest impact. Renee shares how her instinct for seeking out uncertainty has shaped her courage, adaptability, and approach to leading teams through complexity. She reflects on the shift from directive leadership to creating space for others to think, learn, and grow.

A standout moment in the conversation is Renee’s approach to helping mentees move past what’s holding them back. She explains that fear often comes from carrying old experiences — a mistake, a difficult relationship, or a past setback — long after the moment has passed. Through thoughtful questions and calm presence, she helps people name what they haven’t let go of and release it, clearing the way for confidence and forward momentum. It’s a powerful look at how mentoring unlocks self-belief, resilience, and genuine transformation.
