Episode 039  Irwin Turbitt comes to the swamp to share his complex and life altering journey from being a police commander in Northern Ireland to teaching and building leadership capacity at the Harvard Kennedy School and Oxford/Said Business school. 
Irwin had earned his teaching and consulting credentials the “harder way". He began on the streets of Northern Ireland by working on the century-old challenges for a peacefully resolve to the religious strife inside his country.
His personal leadership challenges plus his willingness to ask harder questions lead him to university to studying leadership in greater depth. There he discovered a new way to address hard, wicked problems through helping people close the “knowing-doing gap” by building more skill and leadership craft.
Irwin offers us experienced based ideas and opinions on what it takes to lead in this swampy world. We all can benefit from his experiences.

040 Anne Gibbon joins me to share how her father, the United States Naval Academy and her intuition all conspired to form the leader that she is today. Anne was both the 2007 Heavyweight National Amateur Boxing Championships and a Second-Team All-American rower, and was  inducted into the Academy Athletic Hall of Fame.  That was just the beginning of her leadership journey. We discuss her thoughts on Ethical leadership, the importance of emotional self-regulation and using power for good.
Today Anne is the co-founder of Matri, Inc. which helps critical decision-makers consume more information, intuitively, and faster, to make billion dollar decisions from previously invisible data. As you will learn, she senses this work has become her life’s work and that she is in it for the long haul. 
Given Anne’s track record, I suspect she is on the path to changing the world for the better.
