A Brilliant Gamble

In Episode 3 of the Punks in Suits Podcast we talk Assumptions! Assumptions will get in the way of your true authenticity, they will limit your creativity, they will cloud your best, intuitive decision-making and make it tough for you to bring about change. Given that leaders look at what is (which you can't do when your judgement is clouded) and what could be (which you can't do when your judgement is clouded) and disrupt the status quo to bring about change (which you can't do when your judgement is clouded) discovering what's clouding your judgement is pretty important! Today, with a bit of help from Albert Einstein, I will be talking about how to discover the biases and baggage you bring to your thinking, your conversations and your listening and how to bust them wide open. Please connect with me on Instagram @blairelyspalmer, twitter @blairepalmer or email [email protected] to keep the conversation going! (And listen right to the end for the outtakes!)

In Episode 2 of the Punks in Suits Podcast I talk about leadership as something temporary, where you sometimes lead and sometimes make way for others to lead, I bust a few myths about the myriad qualities people assume you need in order to qualify as a leader and encourage you to let the mask drop. What does that mean? Well, it's all the gloss and polish, this very narrow part of ourselves that we allow to show up at work. Doing that requires real bravery. But what if, instead of hiding your weaknesses, your mistakes were prime opportunities for personal growth and for making connections with the people around you? This episode is a solo show, just me and you having a bit of thinking time together. Let me know what you think!

In Episode 1 of the Punks in Suits Podcast I introduce myself and some of the themes of the podcast to come. The world is changing and we're not in the Industrial Age anymore. That means how we see leadership has to change too. But most models of leadership are based on Industrial Age approaches to managing people as if they are poorly functioning machines, and they simply don''t work any more. In this podcast I share what's changing, why it matters and what shifts in perspectives you can make to really make a difference in your organisation whether you're a member of the Board or an individual contributor without a team. In Episode 1 we cover my inspirations and why I do the work I do, the part that ego plays in leadership and the price leaders pay for that, the need to create gangs of leaders rather than trying to be the lone hero and why on earth this show is called Punks in Suits.
