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.
