The Highly-Sensitive Leader Podcast

This week I am opening the conversation around Cultural intelligence and how we can use this concept to enhance mutual understanding and team collaboration in organisations.

Join me for an insightful conversation with my guest, author of “Uncommon Sense” and ICQ Global founder and practitioner Csaba Toth, who has researched the subject extensively and taught his valuable concepts in seminars and workshops all over the world.

This discussion covers the cognitive and cultural aspects of inclusion and collaboration, unveils some of the valuable principles in “Uncommon Sense” and considers role-modelling and trust as the key foundations of effective leadership.

Join me on this episode to learn more about my Lamp to Laser Leadership philosophy and what it takes to become a laser leader in today's disrupted world. Surprisingly perhaps, this is not about digitization or business transformation. It is about a leader's emotional intelligence, self-belief and belief in others, which leads to abundance and the unlimited capacity to create this leadership space to engage, inspire, coach and turn others in leaders.

Men commit just under 75% of suicides in the UK. Let’s try to understand why and see how we can positively impact this alarming trend using #internationalmentalhealthday and #internationalmensday as our backdrop.

Maintaining good mental health is a process and intentional practice, every day of the year.

I had an insightful conversation with author, junior Nobel prize nominee and poor mental health survivor Mathew Warboys on “From good to great leadership with Muriel” to celebrate his new article on male suicide prevention as well as the upcoming International Men’s day on 19th of November 2020. 

We discuss how men’s mental health is impacted in our modern society, why men are struggling to reach out for support and what to do to seek for help or help out others.

Today we take a deep-dive into the concept of Flourishing, a concept essential to building robust, consistent and sustainable self-leadership, as well as a collaborative space for teams to be aware of each others' progress, challenges and need for opportunity. Flourishing is a life-long process which turns followers into leaders, and good leaders into great leaders.

In today's episode, I delve into a conversation with emerging leader, Textiles and Design graduate and blogger Daria Iwon around how racism is woven into the fabric of the fashion industry, both vertically and horizontally, on a world-wide level. We delve into the environmentally and socially unsustainable, anti-inclusive and racist practices this industry has grown to normalise in organisations and factories, from lack of diversity and representation at the top, to appalling working conditions and race for profit margins at the bottom.

Today we are delving into the Leader-Leader leadership model, which is often used in opposition to the Leader-Follower leadership model. With inspiration from the great work of Captain David Marquet in his book "Turn the Ship Around! A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders", we are exploring the history behind the Leader-Follower model as well as its limitations. We will seek to understand what makes the Leader-Leader model a sustainable, effective and organically empowering model for leadership for societies and organisations alike, at every level. We will finish with practical tips and strategies to start applying these principles in your organisation, business and personal life today.
