In today's episode, I chat with Brendon Baker, a change leader I've had the pleasure of knowing for over a year and a half. Our professional relationship has grown from friendtorshop to active collaboration. 
We discuss the core of his workshops, how to deliver real value, and his personal experiences with business growth.

About Brendon Baker:

Brendon is dedicated to helping Change Leaders achieve tangible results. He's been at the helm of over $10 Billion in projects and programs, and from these ventures, he's gathered key insights:

  1. Change is tough, so it needs to be worth the effort.
  2. Simple solutions often yield the best results.
  3. Traditional methods and 'best practices' don't always translate well into practical situations.

Brendon is the author of "Valuable Change" and "Creating High Value PMOs". He lives outside of Canberra, Australia.

What you'll learn:

  • The story behind Brendan Baker's business growth and his journey towards helping leaders.
  • The significance of understanding the "reality" in corporate scenarios.
  • The essence and application of workshops in creating change.
  • Perception of Last-minute Work: Reframing that last-minute preparation might be seen as scrappy or inadequate. 
  • The value of being in communities to find your next career role model.

Quotes from the episode:

  • "I've come to call that a point of arrogance... they think that what they're delivering is right and ultimately they don't know."
  • "If you focus on what truly needs to matter, then you don't have to do as much work and you can focus on shifting the dial."
  • "Workshops are for teaching people new things and for collaboratively solving problems."

Join us as we navigate the fascinating world of leadership, transformation, and the intricacies of creating meaningful change with Brendon Baker.
