It’s a milestone episode this week – number 200!

To mark the occasion and to give you some special insights, we asked our guest executives that have shared their expertise over the last 5 years, to give their two most important tips for senior managers in 2020.

The response was very gratifying – so much so, that it is actually enough for 2 podcasts. So here is Part 1…..Part 2 will be on the air next week.

There is also a hint of the special episode to come for number 200 next week!

In this final part of our discussion with Josh Elledge, we explore what it means to be a leader, both personally and in a business sense during these changing times.

We continue our discussion with Josh Elledge, this week exploring the “ideal client” mindset as well as the importance of knowing your team.

Josh shares his approach to ensuring both the team and clients are the right fit for one another.

This week Kim and Fulyana begin a three part discussion with Josh Elledge.

In this podcast we hear what you need to think about when considering PR and Marketing in today’s business climate.

The book Josh mentions is Marketing Rebellion: The Most Human Company Wins by Mark Schaefer

As we record this we are still in an era of remote working due to COVID19. How does that affect you when you are leaving an organisation? Whether it is for a promotion, retirement or redundancy, what will be different about this departure?

Kim and Fulyana look at how you can manage both the emotions and the distanced farewells with a positive outcome for all involved.

This week Kim and Fulyana look at how your home office can affect your professional branding and image.

With an increase in executives being home based during 2020, how do you maintain the right image for your clients, customers and staff?

This week Kim and Fulyana revisit a topic briefly covered in an earlier podcast. Perhaps as a result of a performance review you have been told to be “more confident”. What does this really mean and how do you go about addressing it?

What can you do if you are culturally bound to be humble? Could this be perceived as being unsure or less confident of your abilities?

Our discussion today centres on the value of career breaks or gaps in your resume.

For many, regardless of which side of the recruiting table you sit, these are seen as negative or an indication of a lack of commitment to a career.

We look at how these breaks or gaps in a corporate life or career path can, actually, be an important indicator of “soft” skills – resilience, resourcing, adapting to change. These are skills that can prove very valuable to an organisation.

How do you view a gap in a career path?

This week Kim and Fulyana look at the options for CEOs to share their experiences with others who may be working through similar issues even when they are in vastly different industries.

Do you have a network? Do you maintain your involvement or find it a chore? Is there a better way?
