In the final episode of the Regional Employers Collective PS I ❤️ You podcast series, and as part of the English Regions Collaborative, Rebecca Davis, Chief Executive at West Midlands Employers, is joined by Gillian Bishop, Chief Executive at North West Employers, Stuart Young, Executive Director at East Midlands Councils, and Kelly-Anne Phillips, Director of Policy and Internal Services at South West Councils.

Together they reflect on what it means to lead across regions, from the opportunities to collaborate and influence, to the realities of working across complex systems with limited capacity. The conversation explores the balance between agility and stability, the importance of trusted relationships, and the values that underpin effective leadership in local government.

For chief executives and senior leaders, this final episode offers an honest and practical perspective on leading through complexity and change.
