  • 26. As leaders we're also mentors

    In this episode, Alex and Yaja explore what it means to be a mentor and leader and the importance of trust.  Whether we're leaders by title or not, each person can be a mentor. However, as leaders, we're being watched and assessed. And our people act on what they see, hear and sense from us, whether we're ready or not.

  • 22. How to build a culture of trust

    Validating our people is crucial to building a culture of trust. Today we share some typical examples we see frequently in the workplace where through the art of validation, a more trusting culture is built. And then, the not so typical ones, such as Alex's experiences working with prisoners, where with genuine validation she was able to build trust and naturally persuade, because of the authentic significance they experienced.

    This is a revealing conversation around how leaders handle those tough conversations that can appear challenging. 

    • Why do some shrink at the thought?
    • Why would others see them as opportunities?

    • 20. Karen Ferris: Resilience. The leader's tool for handling crises

      This is a conversation not to be missed. Karen Ferris is my special guest, where we talk frankly about the way leaders are revealed during times of crisis. Usually in the most unexpected ways and resilience is key. We discuss how Resilience can be developed by both individuals (inner leadership) and leaders (when leading others).

      Karen, originally from the UK and now based in Melbourne, Australia, is a self-professed service management and organisational change management rebel with a cause. And her passion shows. We get to discuss Karen's most recent books - “Unleash the Resiliator within – Resilience: A Handbook for Individuals” and “Unleash the Resiliator within – Resilience: A Handbook for Leaders”. These can be purchased directly from Karen's online store - https://karenferris.com/store - or on amazon and other online outlets.
