Habits of High Performers Podcast with James Laughlin

Why Vulnerability is essential in Leadership with Mayor Tory Whanau 

Tory Whanau is the first Maori Mayor of Wellington, NZ. She took the time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about leadership, vulnerability and her role as Mayor of Wellington. 

Tory was elected on a platform of change. Her focus is more affordable housing, better public transport, and greater opportunities for walking and cycling. 

Tory is passionate about protecting the vulnerable in our communities and also looking after the planet. She weaves this into all of her day-to-day work as Mayor of Wellington. Tory is also passionate about helping the leaders of tomorrow and teaching them about leadership so that they might have a better world one day. 

Tory will be speaking at Festival for the Future in Wellington on June 8th and 9th. I will also be speaking and facilitating a few workshops. If you are in the area, please be sure to grab yourself a ticket and come say hi!

Why diversity matters with Karen Pflug 

Have you ever wondered how you could take on a role that you knew not-too-much about and absolutely succeed? Karen Pflug is an incredible person who shared her experience with doing just this.

Karen Pflug is the Chief Sustainability Officer at Ingka Group. Ingka Group is the largest IKEA retailer and represents about 90% of IKEA retail sales. It is a strategic partner to develop and innovate the IKEA business and help define common IKEA strategies. Ingka Group owns and operates IKEA sales channels under franchise agreements with Inter IKEA Systems B.V. It has three business areas: IKEA Retail, Ingka Investments and Ingka Centres.

Karen Pflug was open and honest about not being prepared for, or even feeling ready to step into the roles she has stepped into throughout her career. She stepped into these roles anyway and has made an incredible success of them.  Karen is an inspiration for a lot of people who want to take on certain roles, but might not feel ready yet. Notice that fear and then do it anyway. 

This is a conversation that I thoroughly enjoyed and I know it is the first of many.

How to Embrace the Suck with Former Navy Seal Brent Gleeson

Brent Gleeson is a former US Navy Seal. He is also a best-selling author of 2 incredible books, and an award winning entrepreneur. 

Brent is an incredible human. In our conversation he opened up about the pain and suffering he experienced in the Navy, and how he learned to welcome that pain and really celebrate it. That life lesson inspired him to write his best-selling book “Embrace the Suck.” 

 He has learned so many lessons throughout his years as a Navy Seal, and he is now applying them to teams within the business and corporate sphere. 

Brent speaks of forming world-class routines. There are a lot of leaders who say they are going to achieve the incredible goal, and give their staff all of the amazing resources and training that they deserve, but then they never follow through and put those routines in place. This is where Brent comes in. 

Brent is incredibly passionate about leadership and high-performance. This is a podcast that everyone can learn from. Please share this with three of your friends.
