Welcome to mindboost. moments, where we delve deep into what drives leaders, learners, and changemakers. In today's episode, Caleb sits down with Sean Marcs, Learning and Development Manager at BaxterStorey, and chair of Shine UK, the company’s LGBTQIA+ network. Sean shares his fresh perspective on leadership and inclusion, gleaned from both his professional journey and the hands-on experience of parenthood.

Sean opens up about returning to work after leave and how subtle shifts in relationships and dynamics can reshape not just teams, but one’s own approach to leadership. With powerful anecdotes from home—like guiding his young daughter through the bittersweet process of learning to read—Sean reflects on the importance of bite-sized, meaningful learning over one-off training marathons.
