  • How to Build a Foundation of Trust: Prime Minister Mia Mottley (Bonus)

    Trust is easy to lose and hard to build, especially when you are challenging long-standing global systems.

    In this additional episode, The Honourable Mia Amor Mottley S.C., M.P., Prime Minister of Barbados shares more with hosts Karen Blackett CBE and Katie Lloyd to break down the personal and political mechanics of trust.

    Prime Minister Mottley reveals how she builds trust while simultaneously challenging the status quo.


    Key Takeaways include:

    • Consistency over Perfection: Trust is built by what you do and say every day; when you vary from your word, you have a responsibility to explain why.
    • Solution-Focused Leadership: How coming to the table with a plan or commitment to resolve—rather than just criticism—builds credibility.
    • The Two Ears, One Mouth Rule: The vital role of listening and reading body language to understand the perspectives of others.
    • Finding the Bridge: Strategies for finding common ground with leaders who hold opposing views.
    • The "Chipping" Method: Why moving forward often involves taking three steps forward and two steps back, yet still achieving ultimate progress.

        • Leading on a Global Stage: Prime Minister Mia Mottley

          What does it mean to lead when the only certainty is uncertainty?

          In the series premiere of This is Leadership, Karen Blackett CBE and Katie Lloyd are in Barbados to interview The Honourable Mia Amor Mottley S.C., M.P.

          A political force of nature, Prime Minister Mottley discusses her journey from being the youngest QC in Barbados to becoming one of the world's longest-serving female heads of government.

          The conversation dives deep into:

          • The Mission: Why leadership must be rooted in fighting injustice and creating opportunity.
          • Resilience and Uncertainty: How to stop wasting emotion on the "uncertain moment" and go straight to solving the problem.
          • The Pursuit of Perfection: Why perfection is the obstacle to progress and why we must reframe failure as experience.
          • Global Impact: The origins of the Bridgetown Initiative - a proposal to reform international development finance - and the duty to challenge the post-1945 imperial order for global fairness.
          • Leadership at Every Level: Why leadership is a daily practice in homes, communities, and workplaces.
