Their book, Jacinda Ardern, Leading With Possibility explores the background of this fascinating young leader and we get to understand how she leads so authentically and what shaped her to be the person and leader she is today.

Ashley Marshall is an experienced Asia Pacific business leader in Government and Public Purpose organisations and he is currently the General Manager for Government at Australia Post.
Over his leadership journey Ash has led large scale government transformation programs at both a federal and state level. I have found Ash's capacity to deal with community and business executives at a peer level, while adopting a creative, innovate approach to unlocking solutions show his unique understanding of the political and bureaucratic nature of doing commercial business at the highest levels of government and enterprise. Ash also has a deep passion for his people and the development of his people to be great leaders.
I have been blessed to have worked with Ash for a number of years in an advisory and coaching capacity with him and his people so it was great to be able to get him on the podcast to lift the lid on his leadership journey and the beliefs and mindset he has around his own personal development. I hope you enjoy the podcast with Ashley Marshall.

Taylor Morgan is a former US Marine, high performance coach and Founder of The Captain's lifestyle and he is on a mission to #MakeThrivingStandard. His vision for what that looks like is a world where humans & Mother Nature not only survive, but THRIVE Synergistically. Taylor is ever evolving and we dive back into Taylor version 1.0 where life was not great and he was not in a good place and definitely not heading in the right direction. Taylor then learned to re-program and retrain his brain and body to evolve to Taylor 2.0, then 3.0 and he is evolving to even greater versions of himself. The good news is he has documented how he did and now he helps others become the best version of themselves. One area of focus has been helping business founders and entrepreneurs who often don't look at the whole picture of health, wealth and happiness. I really enjoyed talking with Taylor all the way from California and I hope you will to.

I have been lucky to work with Michael as my client at both EY and Australia Post and was keen to left the lid on his success and his leadership journey. What I found surprised me (he started as a plumber), yet is always positioning the customer as central to every role, and he is always driven to identify ways to over achieve objectives. As a transformational leader and mentor he has a strong track record in building high performing teams and creating a supportive environment for team members to excel. Michael is an effective decision maker and an experienced C suite negotiator focused on building long term multi level customer relationships. Enjoy this episode with Michael Oates.

After I wrote the book "It's All Possible" a journalist asked me what could we do daily or quickly to change our mindset for the better. I responded with the five daily questions I reflect on in a hand made journal. He liked the answer and many others did too. This resulted in me releasing "My Daily Journal", a journal for those who don't journal but need to. The journal has not been marketed significantly but has been purchased by senior leaders in a number of large organisations in Australia as part of their corporate well being programs. I am grateful for their support and I know its made a difference especially during these Covid-19 related times. This podcast by me explains the five questions and how many of the users of My Daily Journal have approached the questions in new ways than I imagined. The journal is available as in print or electronic form from Amazon or directly from robhartnett.com . Enjoy the podcast.
