What happens when you put people before profit in your business? What if we could put people first in society too? In this interview, I speak with Howard Behar about the servant leadership model, and how putting people first and prioritising their development is the key to building a great business. We also discuss how standing up and speaking up about what we believe in could lead us all back to a more humanitarian society.

In this interview, I speak with Liz Rivers and Hetty Einzig about how women can step forward to lead with confidence and power

We discuss:

· What inspires women to step up and lead with Purpose, Power and Presence?

· Where does empathy and the ethics of care fit in modern day leadership?

· The role of imagination and creativity as well as the rhythms and cycles of nature in developing themselves as leaders as well as the people they lead

Liz is a former City lawyer and the first woman in the UK to become an accredited mediator. She combines her organisational coaching and mediation practice with a deep love of nature, wild swimming, myth and storytelling.

In this interview I speak with Caroline Flanagan, about her journey as a black lawyer in a predominantly white profession.

We discuss:

What does it mean to be the first?

To stand out and be different from those around you?

And to feel as though you are an imposter and don’t fit?

How can we all be more aware of deep-seated attitudes and behaviours?

Caroline is a transformational coach, an inspirational keynote speaker, the author of two books and host of two podcasts. A magic circle trained ex-City lawyer, Caroline’s mission is to bring greater diversity, equality and inclusion to the legal industry by increasing the number of people of colour who stay in the profession and progress to leadership.

So sit back and I hope you enjoy this discussion with Caroline as much as I did.
