A warm welcome to the Trusted Executive Podcast! As David Wetton, Conscious Leadership consultant, it is my pleasure to speak with Dr John Blakey, the Founder of The Trusted Executive Foundation, where we will go on a deep dive with each of the Nine Habits of Trust which underpin the Trusted Executive model.
The Trusted Executive Foundation helps CEOs and leaders across all sectors, around the globe, create a new standard of leadership defined by trustworthiness.
John's work has been featured in Forbes, BBC News Huff Post and The Sunday Times.
He has written his inspirational and practical book for leaders:
'The Trusted Executive' based on his prize-winning doctoral research at Aston Business School, UK.

The idea of this podcast is to help you as listeners gain a practical understanding of the potential benefits of the Trusted Executive model to you, through taking a deep dive with practical applications for each of the nine leadership habits which underpin the model.
In this episode, we're taking a deep dive with Leadership Habit number 1 – Choosing to Deliver. This habit sits under the pillar of Ability in The Trusted Executive Model.
I'm grateful to Fiona Furman, who appears in this Podcast, as the Communications Manager with NAHL Group, a consumer legal business group, including National Accident Helpline.
