Blaire Palmer is one of the UK's top leadership coaches, a best selling author and a keynote speaker. She works with organisations and individuals to help them drive real change in their businesses and create places where people can come and do their best work.

In this episode, Blaire talks to Nicola Sands about the many challenges of leadership in an ever-changing landscape as well as the incredible opportunities that are currently presenting themselves.

The world has changed so much in recent years that if we want to create a vibrant company where our people are solving complex problems, stepping up and taking ownership and giving us the edge in a tough market, we need to rethink what it means to lead today.

This insightful conversation explores how to engage and motivate people, how to improve retention, attract the right talent and confidently lead through change.

Blaire draws on her real experiences working with businesses across different sectors to present a new kind of leadership that is based on authentic human connection, trust, empowerment and continual innovation.

If leadership is part of your role, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!
