What are you doing to look after your people's well-being? In part 3 of this month's mini-series, I'll be talking with Andrew Ronchetto about resilience in the workplace, the need for leaders to listen to their teams, and why companies should integrate wellness into thier business strategies. We explore Andrew's personal journey towards understanding the balance between work and wellness, the role of technology in enhancing workplace health, and the significance of creating a safe environment for mental health discussions, and how all of this connects to building more resilient teams. It's a wide conversation that also touches on generational shifts in workplace loyalty, the long-term impacts of leadership decisions on organizational culture, complexities of organizational change, and the importance of trust, transparency, and vulnerability in leadership. Plenty of practical tips for leaders here on fostering resilience within their teams. Loved this chat, thank you again to Andrew!

What does resilience mean to you? In the latest episode of Leading with Integrity, I'm joined by guest Catherine Hicks for the second in a mini-series on resilience and building resilient teams. We'll be chatting the themes of leadership, resilience, and burnout, particularly in the context of the pandemic and from Catherine's own journey as a design consultant and leader. 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. Catherine has a pretty unique perspective on resilience, and some great leadership lessons too. Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

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!

When was the last time you had to hire someone? And how well did that hiring process work for you during the experience? A lot of times the answer to that question is a resounding, even a pained, 'Not well'. Which is why this week's conversation on Leading with Integrity with guest Scott Morris is so interesting. And why the work he and PropulsionAI are doing has such potential. In today's episode we'll explore the transformative power of innovative hiring practices and great leadership. We discuss the importance of creating a safe environment for idea generation, the significance of well-defined job descriptions, the role of technology (particularly AI) in enhancing recruitment processes. We also chat employee engagement, ownership vs accountability vs empowerment, the evolving role of recruiters, leaders & managers in a technology-driven world, the importance of relationship-building, and complex decision-making. We try to address the issue of bias in hiring practices and the significant costs associated with bad hires, and hear Scott's personal leadership experiences and insights. Another really enjoyable conversation, useful for leaders, hiring managers, and job seekers alike. Thanks for listening/watching this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

The 'Future of Work' has been a hot topic for a while now, and in today's episode my guest Jim Bouchard makes a compelling argument that human-centric leadership should be at the core of whatever workplaces look like in the future. His personal story from music to addiction to martial arts and finally leadership activist provides a relevant, fascinating backdrop to Jim's approach to leadership, speaking, and life. He's a true pleasure to converse with and in this episode we explore the essence of leadership, the importance of putting people first, the journey of transformation, and the need for self-awareness. We also discuss the balance between management and leadership, the significance of a human-centric approach for the evolving dynamics of the workplace, including the impact of remote work and generational differences. There's an emphasis on the necessity of creating work cultures that prioritise care and connection, understanding individuals beyond generalised labels, presence and engagement in leadership roles, and the value of vulnerability. Jim truly is the Leadership Sensei, and there's something in this conversation for everyone, no matter where you are in your leader's journey.

What does your personal brand as a leader look like? How about as a business owner? Or freelancer? In this episode of Leading with Integrity, I'm talking with Jason Barnard as we explore the intricacies of personal branding, the impact of AI on business, and the importance of authenticity in leadership. We discuss the balance between purpose and profit, the challenges of delegation, and the significance of lifelong learning in personal and professional development. Jason shares stories and lessons from his diverse career journey, from musician to cartoon star to running successful businesses. Other themes include identity, personal branding, legacy, and the implications of digital footprints in the age of AI.
