With leaders twice as connected to their organisation’s culture as employees, how do we look to bridge this gap? 

And why does it matter?

Well, according to Gallup, those who strongly agree that “they feel strongly connected to their organisation’s culture” are:

- 4x as likely to be engaged at work

- 5.8x as likely to recommend their organisation as a great place to work

- 62% less likely to feel burned out at work

- 43% less likely to be watching for job opportunities or actively looking for another job.

So, it matters.

Authenticity is one of the founding elements to any high performance culture - the extent to which people feel safe, supported and inclined to show up as their whole selves.

The costs of not being authentic, both individually and collectively, for both wellbeing and performance, are too important to ignore. But are we always aware of how and where inauthenticity shows up?

In this week’s episode of with INTENT: we provide a practical guide for you to live more in sync with your true self, exploring 3 key areas:

1. Pace of life
2. Personality traits
3.  and Values

By understanding ourselves better in these 3 key areas, we can intentionally build a working pattern that suits us better - allowing us to push out of these comfort zones and grow, whilst understanding what we need to recover.

This special-edition episode is an audio replay of our virtual workshop "Leading From the Front: The Power of Exceptional Leadership" with Col. David Richmond, CBE that took place on 23 July 2024. 

We rarely release our workshop recordings - in fact, this is the first time we've released a recording in its entirety - but this one is too valuable not to. It needs to be shared.

Jonny de Mallet Morgan, David, and our workshop guests explore:

1. A leaders' responsibility to nurture cultures where people feel safe, empowered and connected to a shared purpose
2. The fundamental importance of simply being human, showing up and caring for your team authentically
3. How leaders should be "actively making themselves redundant" by "delegating until it hurts" - moving decisions closer to where the real information lies
4. The importance of freeing up space to guide, support and provide clarity of direction, rather than getting stuck in the weeds of day to day operations - "spending more time in the crow's nest"
5. Inspirational non-corporate perspective from David's extensive military experience

About Col. David Richmond CBE:

David was the most senior officer to be seriously wounded in the Afghanistan conflict.

Since then, he's taken Help for Heroes from a portacabin to a household name. He's set up the Office of Veteran Affairs for the UK Government. He's worked with a number of charities and sporting bodies, including Boccia UK and the UK Invictus Games. He's now CEO at the Royal Hospital Chelsea - home to the Chelsea Pensioners - and also (we're very proud to say), one of our brilliant Executive Coaches at FROM:TODAY.

We promise you'll find this packed full of value.

Enjoy.

Public speaking is always a conversation.

It’s as much about listening as it is about speaking.

How can we expect to truly influence our audiences if we’re not receptive to what they have to say about what we share?

The challenge is that whilst our audiences are always speaking to us, most of the time their contribution isn’t vocalised.

On this week’s episode of with INTENT: Chris Wickenden provides his step by step guidance on how to master the all important skill of public listening to transform your public speaking and supercharge your influence with audiences.
