A new way of leading is long overdue, and Laurie Bennett, Founding Partner at Within People, has an idea to make this happen. First, we must unlearn what we’ve come to know and accept about leadership. Then we must draw on innate human qualities like courage, curiosity, and patience, to become leaders who build wholehearted organizations. It’s within reach for all of us and in this podcast, Laurie tells us how.

About our guest:

Laurie works with leadership teams the world over to embed purpose and values into their brands and businesses. He lives at the foot of Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver with his wife and young son.

Bev chats with Don Bell about the importance of fun and how that leads to engaged employees and happy customers. Don believes in aligning employee and employer interests and being proactive about finding ways to inspire employees.

Don co-founded WestJet; his vision, ideas, and leadership were instrumental in creating a powerful company culture based on employee engagement and empowerment. He enjoys skiing, spending time with his family, and flying planes.
