Mentors To Executives Worldwide

In one of our early 2015 podcasts Fulyana and Kim explored what empowerment meant for both executives and teams. Now, more than 10 years later, Kim asks whether this has changed.

We also hear some fascinating statistics/facts on the influence of conflict resolution skills related to employee engagement.

We continue our conversation with Ted Santos, this week discovering why we need to unlearn what we thought was required in leadership roles and the importance of a paradigm shift rather than a paradigm improvement. We also hear about recognising and managing “bad” change before it causes harm.

We begin a three part conversation with Ted Santos about how to discover what we don’t know we don’t know in order to develop skills for being a “disruptive” leader. There is an intriguing exercise (which both Kim and Jamie fail!) about identifying what you know…..
