It's always fun to welcome back a past guest on Leading with Integrity, and especially a returning favourite like David Bates, who is back for the 3rd(?) time this week! We'll be talking about his new book, Engineering Wisdom (available now), what leadership lessons prompted him to write it, and the concept of Leadership Posture. As with every conversation I've had with Dave, this is a thoughtful exploration of the essence of leadership, effective communication, coaching, and empathy for the modern workplace and the leaders within it. Dave shares insights from his book, such as the need for leaders to adopt a mindset focused on collaboration and understanding, as well as a few of his practical strategies for improving communication and fostering a supportive leadership environment.

This week, I talk with leadership coach Annabel Smith about the do's and don't's of leadership, how to lead with people and humanity in mind, what that looks like in real workplaces. Annabel has plenty of insights to share from her work as a coach, as well as experiences from a 30-year teaching career. Themes that run throughout this episode include the importance of personality, empathy, and integrity in leadership, why coaching is significant, burnout and the need for leaders to recognise the humanity of team members. This is a deep conversation about leading well, from the right place, and will touch on most of the big topics of leadership, including: empowering, building trust, navigating emotions, team dynamics, and context.

Leaders, are you leading with purpose and empowering your people? (Or offering them enough autonomy, if you prefer that to the 'e' word!). If you're not sure, then this week's episode is worth a listen. I'm joined by Leadership Consultant, Former Nuclear Submarine Officer, and Speaker, Marc Koehler. Marc shares his insights on modern leadership, empowering decision-making within teams, fostering trust and connection to the mission. We also discuss the need for good leadership development that engages employees and aligns them with the organization's mission. An enjoyable conversation full of personal experiences and insights that really speak to why team culture really matters, and why everyone is a leader. Thanks Marc!

Are we misunderstanding trust, and ignoring the red flags that lead to betrayal? It's a question that everyone, leaders and followers, could learn from. And I'm joined on Leading with Integrity this week by Clay Moffat, author of the Trust Trap, to talk about this question (and hopefully find an answer). Clay explains the concept of trust, its dynamics in relationships, why we tend to misunderstand what it is, how it works, and how it is influenced by childhood experiences and our emotional intelligence. He introduces the idea of the 'trust trap' and our conversation also touches on the importance of leadership in fostering trust.

What do you remember, from the leader you most enjoyed working with? Chances are words like 'transparency', 'honesty', 'integrity', 'empathy' will be forming in your mind right away. And with good reason.

Humour as vital tool for leaders to connect with their teams is also on the list, while integrity itself is presented as a foundational element for lasting leadership. Jim reflects on his personal experiences and the lessons learned throughout his career, providing a roadmap for aspiring leaders via some genuinely inspirational stories.

Are you a leader who coaches? More of a mentor? Bit of both? I'm joined for this week's episode by business coach, Sarah Yandell, to talk about the role of coaching and mentoring in your business, how it can help shape your leadership and why you should be taking a similar approach for those you lead. We'll also hear about Sarah's B.U.I.L.D. framework, and as often happens when I get talking to a fellow 'solopreneur', we also ended up discussing the challenges and rewards of working for yourself, our past experiences, and what we've each learned about resilience as a result.

If like me you've ever procrastinated, or gotten too focused on making something "perfect", then you're familiar with the concept of self-sabotaging behaviour. This week I'm joined by talent agent, Psychology Ph.D., certified Hypnotist and NLP Practitioner, Albert Bramante. Together, we'll delve into the nuances of leadership, self-sabotage, and the importance of creativity in the personal and professional realms. Albert shares some of the lessons and challenges he's witnessed from his 20 years in the entertainment industry, why perseverance and resilience in the face of competition are crucial, as well as the significance of integrity and listening in leadership.

At first glance, the phrases "leveraging AI" and "People-first" seem mutually exclusive, or at least competing priorities, don't they? Today on Leading with Integrity, we'll be hearing why that's a flawed assumption, and how the reality is more complex. My guest is Founder, Strategist, and Human–AI Collaborator, Lynn Colepaugh. We talk about how the integration of AI in a human-centric approach (in Lynn's case, for marketing and creativity) is the way of the future. Lynn also shares her origin story, from touring musician to digital marketing expert, and business founder, and the lessons about leadership, authenticity and emotional intelligence learned along the way. We even manage to talk Disney, Battlestar Galactica, and time travel! Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.
