    In this captivating episode, Andy Lopata sits down with the remarkable Marianne Abib-Pech. A dynamic leader, Marianne transitioned from a highly successful corporate finance career—culminating as CFO of Shell Aviation at just 34—to launching an M&A advisory practice for frontier markets in 2014. In 2022, she co-founded Transitions First, an international industrial venture fund dedicated to scalable start-ups rebuilding net-zero-compliant supply chains. Recognised for her leadership and visionary thinking, Marianne is driven by a belief that value creation stems from thinking differently, communicating authentically, and driving transformation. In this discussion, Marianne shares the pivotal moments, lessons learned, and unique mindset that propelled her forward. Andy and Marianne consider her extraordinary journey, exploring the nuances of cultural navigation (both national and functional), the power of curiosity, the art of strategic risk-taking, and the often-overlooked strength in asking for help. Marianne also provides fascinating insights into the "multidimensionality" of leadership, blending creative and structured thinking, and the critical role of neuroscience in understanding human connection and trust. What we discussed: The "Unconventional" Path to Rapid Executive Ascent: Ever wonder how someone becomes a Global CFO of a major corporation by their mid-thirties? This episode reveals the mindset and strategic moves that defy traditional career ladders. Luck: Is it Just Chance, or Something You Create?

The Surprising Power of Your Brain's Chemistry in Leadership: What if building trust and achieving results was less about strategy and more about triggering the right neurochemicals? Explore the cutting-edge intersection of neuroscience and effective leadership. Risk-Taking & Asking for Help: Are Your Fears Holding You Back?

  • The Network Playbook for Your Next Career Move with Luca Signoretti
    2026/01/26
    Are you feeling stuck? Have the last few years left you with itchy feet, questioning your career path and wondering what's next? You are not alone. Many professionals are currently re-evaluating their futures, but making a major career pivot is terrifying and fraught with risk. In this episode from the archive, Andy Lopata is joined by his regular guest Luca Signoretti to provide a practical playbook for navigating this critical transition. They reveal why the very first thing most people do—telling their network "I'm looking for a job"—is the biggest mistake you can make. This is a masterclass in leveraging your relationships the right way. Discover how to use your network for strategic research, identify roles you've never considered, and get the honest feedback you need (not just the validation you want). Learn how to manage the transition, rebrand yourself, and ensure your next step is a leap forward, not a leap into the unknown. Key Takeaways What is the simple three-list exercise that can reveal the perfect job for you in an industry you've never even considered? Why might your closest friends and colleagues be the worst people to ask for advice when you're considering a major change? What is the crucial role your personal values play in screening out bad career options before you waste time on them? What is the "one step ahead" strategy for building a network that pulls you forward into your new role after you've made the leap? 3 Actionable Insights Conduct a "Blind Spot" Audit with Your Network: Create three lists: What you're good at, What you love doing, Your ideal work environment. Share these lists with a diverse range of contacts and ask them, "What roles in your world look like this?" This uncovers hidden opportunities you would never have found on your own. Align Your Options with Your Values: Before making any decision, be crystal clear on your top 5-7 core values (e.g., family time, autonomy, creativity). When an opportunity arises, ruthlessly check if it aligns with those values. Build a Network That's One Step Ahead: Intentionally cultivate relationships with people who are already where you want to be. These individuals provide invaluable role modeling, support, and context, making your transition into a new field smoother and more successful.

  • What's Your Bad Boss's Currency? with Andrew Bryant
    2026/01/19
    As a leader, your instinct is to be nice. You avoid tough conversations to keep the peace and offer vague praise to maintain morale. But what if this well-intentioned kindness is the single most damaging thing you can do for your team? In this thought provoking episode from the archive, Andy Lopata is joined by self-leadership expert and author of The New Leadership Playbook, Andrew Bryant. Andrew delivers a powerful masterclass on why being "nice" is a trap of inexact communication that prevents growth, and why being "accurate" is the ultimate sign of respect. This is an examination into the psychology of high-performance leadership. Discover the critical difference between values and principles, and why most leaders confuse responsibility with accountability, leading to micromanagement and disengagement. Get the playbook for being a humane leader who successfully delivers accelerated results by choosing clarity over comfort. Key Takeaways What is the crucial difference between values, principles, and behaviours (and why do most leaders get this disastrously wrong)? Are you responsible for your team or accountable to them? Getting this distinction wrong is the root cause of micromanagement. Why is "being nice" one of the most damaging things you can do for your team's growth and performance? What is your bad boss's "currency," and how can you learn to identify it effectively? Actionable Insights Stop Being Nice, Start Being Accurate: Reframe your approach to feedback. Being "nice" and avoiding difficult truths prevents your team from adjusting their behaviours to meet targets. Instead, be "accurate." Describe the specific, observable behavior and clearly explain how it impacts the goal. This shows you care enough to help them improve. Clarify Responsibility vs. Accountability: Immediately clean up your language. You are responsible for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. You are accountable to an agreement or a person. By empowering your team to be responsible for themselves while holding them accountable to shared goals, you eliminate micromanagement and foster ownership. Discover and Use "Currency": Every person you work with has "currency"—what truly motivates them (e.g., recognition, security, influence). Instead of retreating from difficult colleagues or bosses, lean in. Observe what drives them and what they fear. Frame your communication in their currency to build influence and create a shared understanding.
