In the second half of 2019, I started to step up the podcast production. I got a sound editor (makes a huge difference to the listening experience) and interviewed some incredible leaders and authors.
Powerful people stuff and leadership perspectives
Here they are for an encore:
In the trenches - Interviews with amazing leaders, sharing their wisdom
Be better - don’t hide from it, tackle it! Advice on dealing with the tough people stuff and how he improved his business results by paying attention to the people stuff.
Bernie Ferguson - R & D Coach at Atlassian
One company, no B.S. Atlassian is known for being a superstar when it comes to innovation AND culture. It was a real privilege to talk to Bernie about the insider secrets any leader can adopt to build an awesome culture.
Yenn Purkis - Public Service leader, non-binary gender person, author of 6 books, and advocate for autistic people and their families
We’re all the same just a little bit different. This was a pivotal interview for me. I did not know much about non-binary gender issues or the challenges faced by autistic people. I was schooled in some fundamentals and had huge insights. This was one of the first interviews I did on the points of view series.
Take a listen to these leadership legends!
Big ideas - perspectives from awesome authors
Leadership Hacks with Scott Stein
Scott is a remarkable leader and wise old soul. We share some of his practical strategies from his latest books Leadership Hacks, including how to get into an alpha brain wave state with using peripheral vision and ‘fox walking’. Very cool.
Excellence is a daily commitment with Dan Collins
Dan’s book is coming out shortly. I loved this interview! I was very moved and inspired by Dan’s tip, as a FOUR TIME Olympian.
Metamodern Leadership with James Surwillo
Prepare to geek out on advanced leadership stuff with James Surwillo - one of the most broadly read authors I have had the privilege to meet and interview!.
Solosodes - me sharing some cool leadership and people stuff
How to make sense when bad things happen
It’s not just about thinking positive. Sometimes bad things really do happen. It’s how we deal with them that counts.
Make sure you get your people operating system - your culture - sorted or suffer the consequences.
Here I explore the major shifts that are needed when we hit the ceiling of being an ‘achiever’. You can head to burnout, or you can change direction and discover a new way of being and doing as a leader (minus the burnout).
Got any podcast recommendations? I would love to hear them! Let me know in the comments. Thanks!
