In January 2021, we are still in the midst of the COVID crisis and yet, I would argue, we need to shift quickly from this mode of "crisis" towards "thriving in difficult time", to help our teams, to future proof our organisations and to lay the foundations for leading with learning and development at its heart.   This episode follows on from the previous BONUS episode, which talks about strategies to use whilst leading a team remotely. 

What do you think?  Let me know by contacting me on the many social media channels or by email.

A departure from our usual format today as I had the privilege of welcoming both Patrick Latham and Wesley Durston, cricketers, coaches and authors, to talk about leadership in the game of cricket and in particular the "mental game".  A fascinating discussion looking at cricket and leadership and the possible lessons for leaders in all sectors are clear to see!   We explored the art of captaincy and in particularly how to create future leaders, build resilience and how to cope with the pressures of being a new captain.   

About Patrick and Wes:

Wesley Durston is a professional cricketer who has played for both Somerset and Derbyshire County Cricket Clubs.  He has captained many times in his career at all levels and is passionate about sharing his experience with up-and-coming players. 

Patrick Latham is a Hockey and Cricket Coach and Senior Tutor at Oakham School in the UK.  He is also a very successful self-employed graphic designer, illustrator and caricature artist.

They've written a book, with another on its way and recently have started supporting budding and experienced cricketers online.

Tune in to hear Rick Sanderson talk about his extensive leadership experience in the food industry in buying and selling, his approach to leading his team to be creative in their business planning with a shared vision and values and how he is supporting a cause particularly close to his heart.   Rick has over 25 years of experience in a tough industry where the profit margins are famously low, the pressure to sell is high and ethical concerns are a challenge. 

A fascinating interview showing how action, pragmatism and developing relationships is the key to disrupting and improving. 

About Rick Sanderson:

Rick currently works for Food Forensics, a company that tests the origin of food across global supply chains.  He is passionate about sustainable and transparent supply chains, and his career and motivation is driven by building a fair and compassionate commercial environment for producers, people and animals. 

He has been in the food industry for the last 25 years with senior roles from gate to plate, leading on commercial, strategic procurement, social, ethical & technical compliance, and latterly building disruptive technology solutions in this space. 

He has also developed and sold two award-winning food companies, and founded The STAR Index as his third.  His many awards include being former UK Young Agri-Consultant of the Year, Shell UK Entrepreneur of the Year Runner-Up, a Fellow of the Institute of Food Science & Technology, and former Dragons Den contestant.

In this inspiring episode, Marie Benton talks to me about her incredible journey and work with The Choir With No Name, a national charity that she founded and continues to run in the UK.  They support some of the most vulnerable people in our society: those who are homeless or marginalised.   

Her approach to leadership is innovative in so many ways!   She truly embeds values on a daily basis in a way that eludes many across other industries.  Whilst growing the charity across the country, she has held on to and nurtured their ability to pivot, adapt and to be extraordinarily creative in difficult circumstances.  

Tune in to be inspired and to make a donation to enable the Choir With No Name to continue to serve as many people as possible, please scroll on down...

About Marie Benton:

Marie is the Chief Executive and Founder of The Choir with No Name, an organisation that runs choirs for homeless and marginalised people, enabling them to build their confidence and skills, make friends and begin to rebuild their lives.

They run choirs and outreach workshops in four UK cities (with imminent plans for more), with weekly rehearsals run by top notch choir directors and a warm meal after rehearsals.  Marie and her team hold their values of family, fun, collaboration and integrity close to their hearts, and always ensure that their choir members remain their first priority.   

Marie is responsible for strategy planning and delivery,  artistic direction and the day to day running of the charity.   She has grown the organisation from a grassroots project to a flourishing national charity with a great reputation for her positive, innovative approach.

Marie was featured on the 2018 Sunday Times Alternative Rich List in the category "Creative and Fearless": an amazing achievement!  Click here to see her in action!
