The Dynamic Leader Podcast Shelley Flett

In this episode, Shelley speaks with Scott Greenberg on increasing influence.

Scott is a dynamic international speaker based in the US,
renowned for his expertise in elevating businesses and the individuals steering them. With a background rooted in a decade-long tenure as a multi-unit franchise owner with Edible Arrangements, Scott's journey is marked by
transformative achievements. From steering a struggling franchise to profitability within a year to garnering global accolades for outstanding customer service and management, his strategic acumen and human-centric leadership style have been pivotal.

In this conversation with Shelley, Scott delves into the essence of leadership influence, stressing the importance of fostering a culture where leaders inspire buy-in through integrity and respect, rather than relying on traditional hierarchical power dynamics. In today's evolving
landscape, authentic leadership that prioritises character and earns trust is paramount to driving organisational success and fostering collective fulfilment.

Join Shelley as she walks you through the four types of
conversations—getting to know you, expectations, accountability, and feedback - and how you can use these as a guide to the kind of conversation that will best serve you and get the most out of your people long-term.



Shelley will reflect back on a previous episode where she discussed The Five Modes of Leadership—Coaching (ask & listen), Train or Teach (tell & show), Mentor (guidance & opinion), Manage (directing, defining, responsibility)
and Confidant (building trust & deepening relationships)—and how they align.



Often, we enter conversations without knowing the type we're about to have, risking the loss of sight of the outcome or failing to approach it appropriately. By understanding these conversation types, we can better prepare, ensuring thoughtful engagement and maximising outcomes while appreciating the perspectives of those we engage with.

In today's discussion, our focus is on wellbeing, a crucial
aspect of both personal and professional life. Joining us is Carolyn Apostolou, an expert in fostering thriving cultures of success and igniting transformative change in workplaces.

In an era where approximately 46% of Australian workers report feeling burnt out, it's evident that the pace of life
has accelerated, leaving many feeling overwhelmed by the multitude of responsibilities and obligations. It's imperative now, more than ever, to prioritise self-care by establishing boundaries, learning to negotiate effectively and resisting the urge to overcommit. By intentionally creating space in our lives, we can cultivate opportunities for meaningful experiences and enhance our overall wellbeing.

Throughout their conversation, Shelley and Carolyn will
explore strategies for individuals to take ownership of their health and wellbeing, emphasising the importance of accountability in one's journey. Additionally, how employers can play a pivotal role in supporting their staff, ultimately leading to reduced sick leave, a more
positive company culture and stronger relationships within the workplace.

In this episode, Shelley chats with Narelle Burke, her older sister, about leadership effectiveness. Shelley and Narelle discuss their overarching theme for the year, 'transformation' and contrast it with the emphasis they place on effectiveness for the leaders they collaborate with.

Distinguishing between effectiveness, productivity, and efficiency, they explore how the conventional
focus on productivity often falls short in fostering substantial business, people and cultural advancements.

They reflect on the human tendency to gravitate toward the path of least resistance, perpetually caught in the rush
of daily tasks without living purposefully beyond work, hindering overall effectiveness.

Their chat extends to dissecting the various phases within
business cycles and environments, confronting the challenges of the day-to-day grind and recognising the essential value drivers such as purpose, that may not
always be immediately quantifiable, but are indispensable for sustained personal and professional fulfilment over time.

In this episode, Shelley offers some valuable insights on
leadership and how we identify and define ourselves as leaders.

She recounts her transition from a decade-long career in banking to establishing herself as a leadership coach.

Initially confined by the perception of being solely a coach, her perspective shifted to developing a successful practice around different modes, of which coaching was just one.

She learnt to embrace a multiple modes of sharing her thoughts and expertise including coaching, facilitation, speaking, mentoring, training and authoring.

With Leadership as her key focus,  she discovered which modes would deliver the best transfer of leadership knowledge to the people she was working with.  

This simplistic approach has redefined how she sees
leadership as a space where she can bring out the best in other people. Shelley shares her experience on how leaders can create the environment and develop the relationships that allow people within their remit, to be the best version of themselves.
