At The Helm TALKS

What if the key to better leadership isn’t doing more, but taking the time to think differently?

In this episode of At the Helm Talks, Jed Hassid speaks with Alan Branagh, founder of The Alchemists, about how business leaders can step out of constant performance mode and make better decisions through clarity, reflection and action.

Drawing on more than 40 years of business experience and a background in sports psychology and coaching, Alan explores why leaders so often jump straight into action, how stepping back can unlock fresh perspectives, and why great leadership is as much about listening and asking the right questions as it is about having the answers.

The conversation also explores how LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® can help leadership teams challenge assumptions, think more creatively and tackle complex business problems, alongside the growing importance of critical thinking and human judgement in an AI-driven world.

Alan leaves us with a powerful question for any leader facing a big decision: “What’s the one decision I would make if there was no pressure?”

A thoughtful conversation for business owners and leaders looking to gain perspective, strengthen their leadership and make more confident, considered decisions.
