    Leadership, Hand-Dipped with Rod Holt (Global Leader Group)

    Leadership, Hand-Dipped with Rod Holt (Global Leader Group) : What chocolate, mistakes, and generosity teach us about leading teams. In this special holiday episode, I sit down with my brother Rod to explore how a simple family tradition, hand-dipping chocolates reveals powerful leadership lessons. Together, we unpack what mistakes can teach us, why generosity builds trust, and how intentional rituals create belonging and stronger teams. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t about grand gestures, but small, consistent acts done with care. As we close, we also want to acknowledge that this time of year can be hard. Many people are navigating job loss, uncertainty, or transition. If that’s you or someone you know—Rod and I would love to help. We’re offering a few complimentary coaching sessions where you can think out loud with us and get support during this season. The first eight people who reach out to us on LinkedIn will be set up for a session. And if you know someone who could use this right now, please share this episode with them. Small things really do make a big difference.

    Overcoming Challenges: Personal Growth and Professional Resilience, with Sofia Heigis

    One of the greatest pleasures in doing this podcast is being able to reconnect with old colleagues. I know Sofia from my days at AstraZeneca and now she is CEO of Oncopeptides AB, a biotech company focused on research, development and commercialisation of therapies for difficult-to-treat cancers.  As with anything worthwhile the journey hasn’t always been easy, and Sofia talks about being bold, curious and driven. About dreaming big, and being inquisitive about the people you work with - leaning into their strengths and giving them the right tasks to help them and the business excel.  Sofia is living proof that there 'ain't no mountain high enough' and also that there 'ain't no frozen lake cold enough' for some wild swimming.
