The Talk

Lessons in Leadership – what I learnt about how to lead in a modern organisation…

We talk about ‘Leadership’ all the time, rarely a day goes by we don’t see a blog post, a video, a podcast – it’s so frequent it’s almost become wallpaper.
So what do we really mean when we talk about leadership? What’s the difference between leading and managing, what does good leadership look like… what does bad leadership look like?

Taking on the role of Managing Director was something that I spent my whole career building towards – I had some 16 years or more to prepare. Even so, the reality was very different to my expectations, and I learnt more than I could imagine about leadership… and, of course, I’m still learning every day.

During this presentation I’ll discuss the biggest learnings, how to navigate leadership challenges, and leave you with my key takeaways that I hope will help you in your own leadership journey.
