    Guest: Paweł Zakielarz Founder at GLOBAL24 & SHOPRETURNS Paweł Zakielarz is a European entrepreneur operating at the intersection of cross-border commerce, regulatory complexity and platform-driven business models. As founder of Global24 and Shopreturns, he designs and builds cross-border operational systems that enable companies to scale internationally in environments shaped by evolving regulations, marketplace governance and geopolitical volatility. His work centres on a critical leadership challenge: how to build resilient organisations when key elements of your operating model are controlled externally - by digital platforms, regulators and shifting international trade realities. Rather than focusing on optimisation, Paweł focuses on redesign, helping businesses rethink how they structure processes, manage risk and protect margin while expanding across markets.

    Guest: Amar Dhall Psychotherapist and Leadership Researcher (Nervous System Regulation Under Pressure) Amar Dhall is a psychotherapist and leadership researcher focused on what happens inside people when pressure is on. He works at the intersection of leadership, psychology, trauma-informed practice, and nervous system science, helping executives and leadership teams stay coherent in high-stakes moments. Amar is the founder of Neuro-Somatic Leadership, a framework that treats leadership development as training state under load — so clarity, judgment, and relational capacity remain available when it matters most. We discuss what pressure is, how it affects us as leaders and the consequences of both being able to handle the pressure, and those who cannot. How that impacts themselves and others. With examples and tips for leaders to better handle stress and lead with confidence through tough times, with others.

    Guest: Rochelle Trow Author | Coach | Founder of The Change Canvas Rochelle Trow is an HR executive, author and coach with more than twenty-five years of international experience leading people strategy and transformation across organisations including Unilever, GSK, Astellas, Takeda and Onsemi. After experiencing burnout herself, she founded The Change Canvas to help leaders thrive in high-pressure environments without losing themselves. She has just released her second book ‘Anchored’ which brings clarity to complexity and humanity to change for leaders everywhere. We discuss the pressures on leaders today and how many are needing to focus on themselves first and then deeply support people following., When they are ready and able. This also links to a shift from traditional, unsustainable corporate people strategies to human-centric strategies that support everyone – including those at the very top. Rochelle’s own experience of burnout has led her on a mission to help other at senior levels in business with frameworks like the "Change Canvas” to address resilience blind spots in high-pressure environments, while providing actionable, measurable strategies for integrating humanity into ongoing business evolution. All this is also covered as an extensive ‘how to’ in Rochelle’s new book Anchored.

    Guest: Danny Wareham Culture & Engagement Director + Founder - Firgun Ltd Danny believes that happy bees make tasty honey. If we have the right culture, leadership, support and strategy, then high performance becomes a side effect. He is an author and organisational psychologist who specialises in leadership, culture and personality – with a particular focus on narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism. Danny’s Book ‘Constellation: Leadership reimagined for a connected age’ offers a ground-breaking study drawing on psychology, organisational science, and fresh empirical evidence, for a world too complex for hierarchies to keep pace. This is not a reworking of old theories. It is a new map.
