    Exploring the data behind the theory that Runners Make Better Leaders

    In this episode of ‘Run The Business,’ I had the privilege of feature as a guest. I discuss with fellow trail running enthusiast Anthony Gay my take on how running, especially long-distance, and leadership can go hand-in-hand and how I have already worked on research into this very field.  Using the testing platform High Potential Trait indicator, and working with experts at Thomas International to apply it to leaders who run as well as investigating my own theory that runners make better leaders.  And if you hang on to the end you'll enrich your life with my secret recipe for that perfect high octane morning fuel.

    Diversity is not just a LinkedIn post. It's an active strategy.  This episode is from a recent interview I carried out with Jan Voetmann, Head of Analytics at Orsted. I had originally interviewed Jan just as he had walked in the door at his new employer. Now, a year later, I wanted to pick up with him and see among other things how those plans of diversity hiring were shaping up and where psychometric testing can help both with hiring and retaining talent
