    S02E08 No leader should lead alone, with Sandy Hall

    "No leader should lead alone. … they need a peer group, they need people they can share with, they need to be continually learning and developing, and they need … a support network. It's very easy for a leader to get to a point in their career where they know themselves well, they can be self-aware, they can develop the skills and be a passionate and vital leader inside an organisation. But unless they've got a safe space to unpackage things and grow and develop and learn how to handle tricky situations, they can very easy forget how the world perceives them. And that can be a really difficult place for a leader to get to."

    S02E04 100 days to feel seen, heard and valued, with Joey Coleman

    “In the first 100 days in most organizations, employees feel overwhelmed. They feel unconnected. They feel unseen, unheard, unappreciated … I think lots of times leaders will say, well, it will be better if we're all back in the office. Why? What proof do you have? What data do you have? Because as we look anecdotally at anecdata or we look systemically or statistically at research data, it seems to indicate that the great majority of employees are happier working remotely than want to work in the office, and that pretty much cuts across all industries.”

He's the author of the book “Never Lose an Employee Again.” In addition to being an avid reader and Lego builder, he is a daring adventurer who has sailed around the globe, raced along the Great Wall of China, and visited every continent.
