Our latest episode of the OrgDev podcast is with the brilliant Nate Price Whittle. Nate is a leader with a remarkable track record of driving culture change. As someone who has spearheaded transformative initiatives in one of the largest healthcare systems globally, Nate offers invaluable insights into how to equip managers to lead culture change effectively. 
We had lots of fun chatting with Nate delving into his journey, from his impactful work in the NHS to his new role at KPMG, where he continues to drive meaningful change and empower leaders to create thriving organisational cultures.  He shared so many great insights and we'd love to hear what you think of the episode.

Our latest episode of the OrgDev podcast is with Steve Hearsum. Steve has recently published his first book called No Silver Bullet: Moving Beyond Quick Fix Solutions in Business and the Psychology of Change Management. We had an energising time talking with Steve and unpacking why we are so tempted by quick fixes both as leaders.  We covered a lot of ground in less than an hour including the problems caused by the non-stop search for silver bullets to organisation challenges, the rise of the thought leader and what we can do to change these fixations.

Steve Hearsum supports and challenges his clients to discover their 'edge and stretch' when aiming for more than just 'better sameness'. Renowned for his ability to create useful discomfort in service of learning, he has been commended for having “a knack of not letting people off the hook, without leaving them feeling like they’re on the hook”.

In addition to his consultancy work, Steve serves on the faculty for the Masters in People & Organisation Development at the University of Chichester, managed by Mayvin, with a focus on the future of organising.

He is an experienced leader specialising in people and digital transformation and is leading an extensive programme to deploy an agile model and process across the Engineering division and beyond.
We both very much enjoyed chatting with Jag and understanding more about what agile transformation really means in practice and how an OD mindset has helped him with the challenge.  We would love to hear what you think of the conversation!

Hayley is also a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and Registered Occupational Psychologist and works with organisations to foster happier workplaces where both leaders and their teams can thrive.  Her work and career are fascinating and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with Hayley.
