    What does great executive communication look like?

    In this episode we look at a critical executive leader skill - communication. At a time when trust is decreasing, change is accelerating, business risk and opportunities increasing, the very human skill of communication becomes ever more important. We are looking to our leaders to create togetherness, purpose, even and especially hope. And all of that takes great communication. To explore and understand the complex nuance of effective executive communication, we spoke with Rob Shaw Cameron. Rob is a communications coach, actor and director with over 20 years of experience, Rob has worked extensively with CEO’s executive teams for some of the world’s largest global organisations, helping them bring to life the full spectrum of effective, inspirational, and impactful communication.

    How do executive teams shape or strain organisational wellbeing?

    In our new series, we’re exploring how executive teams drive performance in today’s complex organisations, and how they can shape, or strain, organisational wellbeing. In this first episode, Clare Russell and Steph Robin are joined by Nicholas Creswell and we dig into a reality many organisations know too well: Executive teams can become stressed, siloed, political, and overloaded, and this pressure ripples through the organisation, creating distraction, confusion and conflict. 👉 But it doesn’t have to be that way. We explore how executive teams could instead become engines of organisational health - releasing energy, innovation and resilience across the whole system.
