What a fantastic and inspiring episode! Today we talk with Dr. Feb Idahosa, President of Benson Idahosa University, about driving change through leadership and education to inspire the next generation of Nigerian leaders. 

Feb shares his thoughts on the benefits of finding a mentor to help guide you through your leadership journey and that by finding someone who has already 'climbed the mountain'  will really help you get to where you want to go and accomplish more.

Review of our discussion with Steve Rix.

Original podcast description:

You are going to love this podcast with Steve Rix of #imaginethat. Steve shares his mission to achieve world peace and liberty for everyone using imagination and play and how he is achieving this with 100 hours of video content to be aired on Amazon Prime and a United Nations project.

One of his first businesses, a scuba diving school in the desert (yes the desert!) built to over $1 million in sales in 12 months with 21 staff where he learnt after a close shave with a mutiny from his team that the art of leadership is letting go, listening and letting others lead.

Having made $millions and lost it he realised that he was the common factor, from which he learnt a lot about leadership. Now Steve is razor-focused to achieve his gigantic and ambitious goal of releasing the superhero in us all and solving the worlds biggest problems through imagination and play.

Listen to his three big pieces of practical advice to achieve more in your life than you might think is possible.

A hugely insightful, fresh and stimulating conversation with Steve Rix.

We discussed Sue's personal story of her experience with management and leadership throughout her career and go into the details of a tough situation she had to go through.  Facing imminent strike from employees and the threat of closure from company executives, Sue was given a short timeframe in which to turnaround the manufacturing site she was now at the helm of! Sue shares her thoughts of being tough and having the right mindset that helped get her through this situation. 

 

Gaining trust from the employees as a key attribute to the successful outcome of this situation. She developed buy-in from the staff, built relationships between management and factory staff and was ultimately able to turn the site around.

 

If we wait until we are ready or the time is perfect, the time will never be right. This was something Sue shared and we discuss the ability of being adapt after throwing yourself into the deep end and growth comes at the end of your comfort zone.

This week we had the pleasure of talking with James Segal, Founder of SynergyMode, a recently created business advocating and facilitating a better world of board-level advice to help businesses succeed.

 

One of James' core points is that leadership is about your ACTIONS NOT about your TITLE. We go on to discuss the importance of self-confidence and self-belief for two main reasons: 1 - to be able to address a large audience (back in the days when we could do public speaking!) and also, perhaps more importantly 2- to get yourself in the right mindset, being able to challenge the status quo and belief in yourself that you can in fact be a leader. 

 

We go on to discuss the importance of really getting to know your employees and understanding what their primary motivating factors are. I (Callum) could relate to this as earlier this year I employed my first intern and we got to know each other well, however with the position being remote, I was a little unsure as to how many personal questions I should ask. So for me, this was a really useful perspective to hear from another great leader.

 

Again a big thank you to James for recording the podcast with us and a big thank you to you for listening!

Our short summary of our recent episode with Frank.

Original podcast description: Frank is the Founder of 2Y3X, an exciting accelerator programme for promising companies to triple their sales revenue over the course of 2 years. Frank discusses his leadership stories, his appetite for risk-taking at the various companies he has worked at, and his collaborative approach to sales with clients. Most notably, Frank discusses his entrepreneurial flair; whilst noticing an opportunity in an unserviced market whilst on holiday, led he and his team to create a very successful magazine, with relatively little funding in the US market for new Spanish-speaking mothers.

 

We discuss Frank’s experiences of being a leader and he describes this as the one who brings a creative flair to creating solutions for his clients and working with managers in his organisation to ensure the promises can be and actually do get delivered upon. Find out why Frank also believes in the importance of leaders having experience in cold-calling!
