In the eighth episode of our third series, we have an insightful and compelling guest on the podcast, Salvatore Manzi; a specialist leadership communication coach, and author of the book Clear and Compelling: Communication Strategies for Big Thinkers with Bold Ideas.

____________

In this episode, Salvatore shares the wisdom he’s developed through years of experience coaching leaders and organisations across the world. We explore the communication challenges leaders face today, and Salvatore provides practical tools and strategies to overcome them, helping us all communicate with greater impact and empathy.

Drawing on his book Clear and Compelling, Salvatore discusses how leaders can craft messages that not only inform but transform understanding, using techniques that combine structure, intention, and emotional intelligence. The insights he shares on this episode will leave you reflecting on how you can refine your own communication within your leadership, to better connect with your teams and audiences.

I came away from this conversation inspired to be more intentional and conscious about the way I communicate as a leader; to slow down, listen deeply, and ensure my message truly resonates, and I know you will too.

In the seventh episode of our the third series we have the second of our video podcast episodes, where we share some of the leadership lessons from our new book, which is the first in the 'Lessons in Leadership' series of books.

_____________

In this episode, we are exploring the self-awareness which is a cornerstone of self-leadership, which is a major element of leadership excellence. Working on, and developing our self-awareness is a vital element of self-leadership, as it underpins how we show up and react within situations. As part of growing our self-awareness we explore some of the psychological concepts which goes into our self awareness, and therefore how we can work on and develop this.

From the triune brain and Willingham's model of memory, to exploring the present tension and a mechanism for self-reflection where we compare our real self to our ideal self.

We look to see how what these models show us can be utilised and implemented to ensure personal and professional growth, within our journey to improving our self-leadership before we develop our capacity to lead others effectively!

In the sixth episode of our third series, we have an inspiring guest on the podcast, Joris Merks-Benjaminsen; a Leadership Trainer and Coach, and author of the book Managing without Power, with a passion for helping organisations to establish a thoughtful balance between the human side of leadership, and structure and accountability.

_____________

In this episode, Joris shares the insights he has learnt from an extensive career within Google, one of the most forward thinking organisations, where he became Head of Google Academy, becoming one of the highest scoring managers of all time within the organisation. We discuss the many lessons he learnt and approaches he took from this experience, and how we can all use these to develop our leadership practice. Joris has such a unique approach to leadership; where he balances his need for structure and discipline, with a humanistic approach; centred around the individuals within the team.

Some of Joris’ unique approaches are awe inspiring, from flying out to meet members of his team to take a forest walk in order to have deep and meaningful conversations about their careers and ambitions, to actively encouraging the members of his team to think outside of the organisation for their ambitions. I came away from this conversation inspired to take a more personal approach to my leadership, to have more honest and deep conversations in order to maximise the growth and development of those in my charge, and I know you will too.

_____________

Joris’ experience has helped him to develop an extensive toolkit to leading with a more holistic approach, combining data with the empathetic style of leadership. Connect with him on LinkedIn and check out his book and website to see what he has to offer you:
