There's a focus on the importance of service-oriented leadership and the need for compassion in the workplace, the nuances of resilience, the challenges of maintaining mental health, and the importance of setting boundaries in a demanding work culture. We share personal experiences that have shaped each of our leadership styles, including the role of resilience and the impact of supportive management. Catherine talks about her experiences navigating chaotic work environments, the role of stress in personal and team growth, and the importance of fostering a culture of respect and open communication within teams.

This month we're talking about resilience - what it means, why it matters, and how to build it into your teams. The first episode of the series is with executive coach and author of 'Weathering the Storm: A Guide to Building Resilient Teams' - Julian Roberts. And he's pretty well qualified to speak on the subject! Julian and I discuss the importance of resilience in leadership and team dynamics, he shares insights from his career in the food industry and his transition to coaching. Key themes from our conversation include the need for emotional awareness, collaboration, and the development of resilience as a skill rather than an innate trait. We also chat about the evolution of workplace culture, the significance of psychological safety, and Julian offers some useful, practical strategies for building resilient teams. And of course, no episode of LWI is complete without getting into some of the complexities of leadership, resilience, and emotional intelligence, the significance of critical thinking in decision-making, and the value of transparency in leadership. Thank you Julian for being an enjoyable conversation partner, and sharing your wisdom on a topic that is essential for the leader of 2025 and beyond!
