Leadership is often seen as a position bestowed on you or a rung on the career ladder, but true leadership isn’t something that you earn, it’s something that you embody. With this in mind, leadership opportunities come in many shapes and forms, and often in unexpected places… even at wedding. In this podcast we interview Emma Keleher Project Director- Strategy and Planning for Public Health at the Department of Health in Victoria, Australia about the relationship between a wedding flash mob, the pandemic, fearless leadership and building high performing teams.

Following on from the popular article Dr Julian Waters-Lynch shared on the Neu21 website, he is joining Sian and Katya for a casual chat about meaningful work.

What really makes work meaningful? We might also ask what makes for a meaningful life? These can seem like two quite different questions at first, but research suggests they overlap in important ways. Once you've found it, how do you keep it? Can your workplace kill all meaning for you, or do you have a role to play in keeping the meaning alive?

It's been a while since we've had a podcast, but we are back with a bang today because we are talking about, well, the ultimate story of triumph against the odds of overcoming.

Your limiting stories and beliefs and finding your inner self-belief. And the person that we interview today is none other than co-host Katya Noble because she has just returned from swimming the English channel. Not only has it been many years and multiple training sessions in the making, it's also been a journey of overcoming both physical and mental barriers.

And today we're gonna explore the journey to the English channel and during the swim of the English channel and how some of her learnings can be translated to work as well.

In this episode, Katya and Sian talk to Eduardo Nofuentes, Co-founder and Director at Neu21 about the elements of organisational design that create the adaptive, human-centred organisation. 

Eduardo is the larger-than-life co-founder of Neu21.

After spending ten minutes with Eduardo you will know two things – he has a contagious passion for new, radical business thinking and a seriously impressive sneaker collection.

Born and educated in Barcelona, Spain, Eduardo began his career in what he calls “boring corporate roles” for large companies, building his knowledge in strategy, operations, and customer experience. Despite this early success, Eduardo was frustrated with the bureaucratic, inflexible nature of many corporate workplaces.

In 2012 he joined REA Group, where he became a pioneer in taking agile ways of working beyond the software development world. After seeing the positive impact of these new work approaches on their people and customers, Eduardo was inspired and founded The Agile Eleven in 2015, revolutionising the management consulting industry in Melbourne.

The Agile Eleven made a name for itself transforming global organisations through its unique, customer-obsessed approach to consulting – a direct reflection of Eduardo’s vibrant personality.

In 2020, The Agile Eleven merged with award-winning innovation and Design Thinking firm G2 Innovation to form Neu21. This union provides a unique alternative to big consultancies in the market when it comes to innovation, agility, and ways of working.

Outside of work, Eduardo’s passion basketball, surfing, and spending time with his partner and children.

Today's guest on the Neu21 Igniting Change & Transforming Cultures Podcast is Bia Affonso, the consulting hub lead at Neu21. 

Recently, she was featured on AusBiz in an article about why organisations are failing at wellbeing and how they can do better. 

Bia is a trained Journalist, Futurist, Executive, and Health Coach. A true neo-generalist, Bia reinvented herself multiple times throughout her career, living between the specialist and generalist realms, always seeking new ideas and new ways of working. Her passion for health and well-being has led her to constantly question what gets in the way of people’s ability to thrive – not only in a health sense but also in the way people think and approach work.
