Ep.233: Why Every Leader Needs a Great Network and How to Build One, with Kelly & James West and Kierney Chase | Leadership Podcasts

One of the things I wish I'd started doing earlier is building networks. Particularly ones full of supportive, people-oriented people. Early in my career I was, at best, suspicious of the term 'networking' because I didn't really understand the concept and thought it was just a pushy sales thing... So imagine my surprise when I first joined ONLE Networking! It's the complete opposite of every bad networking story you've ever heard or experienced and the reason for that, in my opinion, comes down to it's founders. Which is a long-winded way of saying, those very people are on the podcast this week! I'm joined by Kelly, James, and Kierney to talk networking and its many benefits from business to mental health and beyond, leadership dos, don'ts and wherefores, the trials, tribulations, successes and joys of business... Journalism, love, basketball, Captain America and a whole bunch of other stuff I've probably forgotten to mention.Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

"What if?" is a question everybody has asked themself in life, probably more than once. But for most people, most leaders, when we ask "What if?" it's a backward-looking question.

His name is Doug Fleener, he's a Personal Adviser for Growth and Change, author of the book "Start With What If" and creator of The What If Rule.

Ep.229: Turning Insight into Influence: How Leaders can be More Effective Communicators, with Salvatore Manzi | Leadership Podcasts

Leaders: ever had a brilliant idea but struggled to get your team on board? Sometimes that maybe because the idea wasn't so brilliant (I've definitely had that problem! 😅), but other times maybe it's been because getting your point across requires more than just sharing data or hitting the 'transmit' button. It takes genuine presence and a solid understanding of your audience/people. My guest this week is Salvatore Manzi. He's a leadership communications coach who specializes in helping leaders turn complexity into clarity, insight into influence. Salvatore is also the author of upcoming book: Clear and Compelling. During our chat, Salvatore breaks down the real definition of leadership presence so you can finally understand what that corporate buzzword actually means in practice.Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

Ep.228: Behavior in Motion: The Transformative Power of Culture-Minded Leadership, with Adriana Vaccaro | Leadership Podcasts

A recurring theme this year has been organisational culture; what makes it work, how it turns toxic (and what not to do!). So on it was a pleasure to talk about it with this weeks guest: Culture Strategist, Behavioral Psychologist and HR Expert, Adriana Vaccaro. We chat about how to redesign your culture for success and the role of conscious leadership in that process. You'll hear about Adriana's culture-minded framework and the 6 core capabilities that drive it, from the relationship between contribution and belonging to the role of technology and beyond. A key takeaway is to think about the way we view culture: as a practice rather than a philosophy, and why leaders should embody the values they promote.Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

Ep.226: The Science of Behaviour, Motivation, Gamification and Leading Successful Teams, with Roman Rackwitz | Leadership Podcasts

I'm pretty excited about this one, because words like 'gamification' tend not to be taken all that seriously within businesses and you might be forgiven for thinking "what's that got to do with leadership anyway?" until we join the dots to other words like behaviour, motivation, and neuroscience. So in today's episode I'm speaking with Roman Rackwitz about ALL of the sciences, the brain stuff, the tricks of human behaviour and motivation, how this leads into gamification in the productive, useful ways (and not the gimmicky nonsense most of us will probably have encountered before) and how all of this links back to leading more successful teams.Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.
