• E110 - Themes: Authenticity & Leadership Traits

  I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text MessageThis episode is also available as a video podcast on my YouTube Channel here:https://youtu.be/dSrc0y8GXZQI've been intending to talk about leadership traits and authentic leadership in particular for some while now, but my work at Deloitte University this week provided a perfect catalyst for this episode.  Authenticity in the workplace was a significant topic of discussion and I consequently thought it would be a perfect subject to cover in this week's thematic episode of the show.The episode is short but I hope you find it both interesting and valuable.  Given that I have only recently started video podcasting, I would be particularly interested in your feedback on the visual format if you have used it.  Support the showThank you for listening!

• E108 - Guests: Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, CEO of Ploughshare, Chair of Refuge UK, Co-Founder & Patron of The Joanna Simpson Foundation

  I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text MessageThis episode is also available as a video podcast on my YouTube Channel here: https://youtu.be/Nx1yfjz0POUHetti Barkworth-Nanton is a remarkable individual.  She is the CEO of Ploughshare, Chair of Refuge UK, Co-Founder and Patron of The Joanna Simpson Foundation, but those are just the formal positions she holds.  Listening to her story, it is clear that, in the margins of her mainstream roles, Hetti is supporting a range of other individuals as they deal with a variety of traumatic personal situations.  Hetti's own journey is an emotional one, but it is a true tale of triumph over adversity.  The related story of her campaigning, together with Diana Parkes (Joanna Simpson's mother), to ensure the continued imprisonment of Joanna's killer has received mainstream media publicity, and resulted in both of them being honoured with the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire), as well as winning a Pride of Britain award in 2024.Hetti's passion, emotion and drive are very evident in all that she says on this podcast.  It is a powerful and fascinating story, and she provides a range of great advice and thoughts that will benefit anyone who is currently suffering or has previously suffered with the effects of trauma.  I found it incredibly moving, but we also had a lot of fun doing the interview - I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!  Your feedback would be greatly appreciated and, if you like what you see, please share it widely so that others can join the debate.You can find Hetti here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hettibn/X: https://x.com/hetnantonSupport the showThank you for listening!

• E107 - Guests: Air Marshal Greg Bagwell CB CBE & Air Vice-Marshal Sean Bell, Former RAF Fast-Jet Pilots & Hosts of The High Ground Podcast

  I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text MessageThis episode is also available as a video podcast on my YouTube Channel here: https://youtu.be/7vYdDL4e1k0Greg Bagwell and Sean Bell have been colleagues and friends of mine for many years now.  Both are former fast-jet pilots but we all went down different aircraft paths at the end of flying training.  Whilst I went to the Jaguar, Greg went to the Tornado, and Sean went to the Harrier, via an instructional tour on the Jet Provost as a "creamed off" Qualified Flying Instructor.  We all climbed the career ladder to close to the top of the Royal Air Force, with Sean and I making 2* rank, whilst Greg went further and retired as a 3* Air Marshal.Unsurprisingly, given our similar backgrounds and long standing relationship, this episode is full of banter and flying stories, but there is also a plethora of great leadership advice and plenty of commentary on contemporary events from two guys who are very close to what is happening in the here and now. Both have portfolio careers, but Greg is the President of the Air & Space Power Association (https://airspacepower.com/), and Sean is a regular defence commentator on Sky News.  They also come together as hosts of The High Ground Podcast, which focuses specifically on air & space power issues of the moment.I highly recommend their podcast if you are looking for some expert commentary on this crucial component of defence capability.  You can find it either via a link on the Air Space Power Association website (main link above) or at the following:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1JQusc6SVDIpjmkUH6gPy6 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AirSpacePowerAssociation You can also find Greg and Sean individually here:Greg: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gjbagwell/X: https://x.com/gregbagwellSean:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-bell-1998633a/X: https://x.com/BellusUKSupport the showThank you for listening!
