This week we begin a three part conversation with Dr Elizabeth Moran about change and neural pathways. We hear about the basis for our behaviours when change is thrust upon us as well as why leaders are measuring change management success the wrong way.

In the final part of our conversation with Steven Gaffney, Kim and guest host Jamie Wadley, explore what it means to be both honest and vulnerable as a leader in today’s uncertain business environment.

Steven also has a special offer for our listeners to be able to obtain a free copy of his book ‘Just Be Honest”.

This week we learn the practical difference between “conditional” and “unconditional” power so that we can recognise where we need to focus. Jamie and Steven also share their thoughts on how/when to actually switch off when you have an entrepreneurial mindset.

We continue our conversation with Steven Gaffney this week looking at the practical aspects of “honest” communication and getting the unsaid said. Guest host Jamie Wadley also get some tips of not sounding aggressive when giving that honest feedback as well as the difference between being resilience and perseverance.

In the first of four episodes with Steven Gaffney, Kim and guest host Jamie Wadley hear about the importance of “honest” communication and what that actually means.

We also explore the difference between high performing and high achieving teams, getting the unsaid said as well as the link to deep listening as was discussed with our recent guest Oscar Trimboli earlier this year.

In the final part of our review of the last 10 years and 400 episodes of Inside Exec, Kim and Fulyana talk about the benefits they personally have seen from the podcasts as well as some insights into the “mechanics” of bringing all those episodes to you, our listeners.

We’re back this week with the remainder of our countdown of the top 10 topics based on our interactions with you, our listeners as well as some statistics and history about the “behind the scenes” developments over the past 10 years.

Join us for Part 1 of our review of the last 10 years of Inside Exec podcasts including the top 10 subjects that have generated the most interaction with our listeners.

AND….the Kindle version of our book is out! Print versions will be available over the next few weeks as we progressively separate the transcripts of all 400 episodes into a number of volumes. The first will be our all guests, followed by all the Case Studies and finally the remainder of discussions we have had over the last 10 years.

Thank you all for your input, loyalty and support.

In the final part of our conversation with Oscar Trimboli, Jamie Wadley (standing in for Fulyana) and Kim hear about ways to prepare for meetings, making them shorter and more focused as well as integrating deep listening with management reviews.

The podcast starts with a comment from Fulyana, recorded after she finished reading Oscar’s latest book. More details about obtaining your copy of the book can be found by clicking here.

We continue our conversation with Oscar Trimboli on the subject of “Deep Listening” looking at answers to two questions submitted by listeners:

How does deep listening impact decision-making at the executive level, particularly when managing large, geographically diverse teams or navigating crises?

Many executives are trained to be fast problem-solvers — how can they balance the need for speed with the patience deep listening requires?

One of the answers poses a further question from Oscar – are we solving the “wrong” problem?
