Imagine what the world would look like if every company developed their people through making an impact on a societal need?

In this episode, Sophie discusses the concept of Social Leadership with former Microsoft employee, and Founder and Managing Director of BE Leadership, Shannon Banks.

Shannon explains how businesses can bring their social purpose to life through their own people and how social leadership contributes to more connected and collaborative workplaces worldwide, as well as making a positive impact on society.

Shannon also discusses the impact of Covid on businesses and online working, along with the barriers that people face in fulfilling certain leadership roles.

Shannon’s approach is unique because many companies are putting money in corporate social responsibility, but not getting actively involved in the skills and development, connections and creativity that comes with being active in this more evolved and impactful way of being - social leadership. And many organisations train their people in leadership skills in the classroom – Shannon’s rebellious approach develops leadership skills through impactful tangible social projects.

Sometimes Sophie & our guests get super passionate about their topic and therefore, some “passionate” language might crop up! You might want to wear headphones or make sure young ears aren’t around, and if this is not your cuppa tea, this might not be the podcast for you.
