🎙️ Straya calling 🇦🇺 The Creative Floor Awards continues its Australian tour. And to celebrate the launch of our new Mentorship platform, we are talking about leadership. What it is. What it isn't. And how you actually get there. Because leadership is lonely. It's messy. And most people never talk about it honestly. This episode is not about titles, LinkedIn buzzwords or performative confidence. It is about what leadership really feels like when the meeting ends, the door closes, and you are the one left holding the pressure. We sit down with Jeremy Perrott, former Global Chief Creative Officer of McCann Health, and June Laffey, former CCO of McCann Health New York and now a Creative Leadership Coach. We get into the reality of leadership, not the LinkedIn version:
• Protecting your agency’s values when everyone else wants the easy win
• Standing up for creativity when compromise feels easier
• Backing the troublemakers instead of silencing them
• Absorbing pressure without cracking
The question is simple. How do you lead without selling out your people or yourself? The Ultimate Guide to Leadership tackles doubt, pressure and the messy human side of leading. Real honesty. Real tools. And the blueprint for creating brave, life-changing work, and a legacy for yourself. 

⚠️ Language is colourful.
