Megan has a long history of working at the cutting edge of leadership development and marks a departure from the usual guest on this podcast. She is a deep thinker and researcher around how leaders need to behave in what she calls a ‘pathologically busy’ workplace. This interview explores how our society has an over focus on the short-term, the to do list which leads to rampant busyness. This is not the role of a leader who needs to be able to step back and have perspective. Megan shares how reflective practices and wise attention will help us become the leaders we want to be. A powerful episode with lots of evidence. You will take away: • An exploration of the tightrope leaders walk with being strong vs being vulnerable • How psychologically safety is built – speaking up and listening up • The moral case for having a positive impact as a leader • Examples and discipline and practices in carving out the right kind of attention so we have a chance to lead effectively Links and info Megan Reitz is a Professor Leadership and Dialogue at Hult Ashridge Business School, she is an Associate Fellow at Said Business School at Oxford University.

Marina brings an infectious level of vibrancy and dynamism with a successful background in television. But this is a world she stepped out of because she wanted to work in an environment with more safety. Something she focuses on building as a leader.

For her, open dialogue is the vital to connection, understanding and safety. This relates practically in terms of meetings, offsites, personality testing – she wants to tune in and read individuals and help bring them together.

Emily comes across as a very calm, measured, and humble CEO – one that does not feel that we need unnecessary pressure. She is committed to connecting with employees and organically growing their business in sustainable ways. She attributes a lot of stability in her childhood to the resilience of her mother who always worked full time, did a PhD part-time and travelled around the world sharing her research. Consequently, Emily always had a strong belief in herself. She feels lucky that being a woman in tech never got in her way. In the early days, Emily was very much a ‘number two’ – a supporter to her husband as they grew their software development business, Ghyston. She focused on bringing up their 3 children and worked part-time in the business. But a time came when her husband had an opportunity outside of Ghyston. Emily decided to step up to the CEO role but she was determined to do it her own way moving from 3-3.5 days a week! Indeed, she wants her employees to have a sustainable lifestyle, one that enables sustainable growth in business too. She is now 4 days a week and I would say, it feels central to her success.

Welcome to the 2023 Conscious Leaders Podcast Highlights Episode. If you don’t know me already, I’m your host, Founder of Conscious Leaders, Ruth Farenga. Quite apparently to us all, 2023 has been a year where all the implications have joined into a perfect storm. A year when we desperately need great leaders to look up to and help us navigate a path. And, leaders have continued to step up - and I have been there to hunt them down and hack into their brains so you can learn from their philosophy and practice. Personally, 2023 has been the year I have been settling in Stroud near Bristol having moved here a year ago. It is not easy meeting people somewhere new but I am starting to feel a bit more at home having made a few friends, gone to some gigs and moved into a co-working space called Spacehoppers. If you’re in or near Stroud in the UK – come visit – it’s a great home from home as an office space. Besides the usual coaching programmes for leaders, 2023 has been the year that we released the Next Level Leadership Scorecard – a free tool that accompanies the Next Level leadership book to allows you to benchmark yourself against the top nine traits and behaviours of great people leaders. The ones featured in the book. Go to our consciousleaders.org.uk and register for emails if you want to hear more. We are also collecting data for a ‘State of Leadership in tech’ report to be released in 2024….so if you’re a senior leader in technology or you know one – help us by asking them to complete. Visit consciousleaders.org.uk for more info. Right ok, enough of all of that - onto our podcast highlights for 2023!…

Melanie has always been an achiever. She rose through the ranks of young innovative companies and then to a big role at Google before arriving at LinkedIn as a Senior Product Director. Her story is full of highs and lows. When COVID hit she went through her own burnout, realising that her own striving was a way of finding her own safety (having experienced a lack of safety for part of her childhood). Emerging from this low, she was able to get support and rebuild a robust structure for her wellbeing. She shares in detail how she protects her mental health through strong boundaries. She has been on a journey of living her values which are; ‘live with balance’, ‘lift others up’ and ‘realise my visions’. When asked to present about herself and her strategy at interview for LinkedIn, she led with these values and how they support herself and those around her. In terms of team support, she is keen that people she works with develop personalised plans around ‘what builds them up, drains them and their ultimate career aspirations’. All with the goal of creating meaning for what they are doing now (as opposed to always wishing you were promoted to the next level).

He experienced a lot of bias both conscious and unconscious coming from a non-traditional background with a different sounding name – his Dad is Bengali and Mum is German. But this only spurred him on as he was so determined to work in design. Nothing was going to hold him back. After a while, he became disillusioned by advertising and wanted to create something of his own. Along-came Driftime which he co-founded with his partner, Sara which started with a few paragraphs that become their manifesto. They were clear from the get-go who they did not want to work with.

Adam’s career started out the way everyone expected. His father was a Partner at one of the big consulting firms and this was his path. Indeed, it was as Adam accelerated up the promotion ladder to Partner at Accenture and then onto PwC. But brewing in the background were Adam’s mental health issues. Despite his success, he noticed issues dating back to when he was at university. Looking back, he realised the lows became lower and the highs higher. This was exacerbated by COVID. Eventually he was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and admitted to the Priory for 2 ½ months. As part of that he admitted he was an alcoholic and is now sober. Adam shares all of this with us and takes us on a journey of self-awareness– from someone who worked hard/ played hard, building strong bonds with colleagues, at times over-sharing or drinking more than he should have, to someone who has become a more stable leader.

This podcast’s purpose is to open up honest conversations. Ones that get under the surface and tell us what leadership and life are really like. When leaders share something personal or deep with us, we learn tangible and practical things. We also connect as human beings. In hearing others’ challenges, we feel connected and validated as fellow imperfect humans.…

Dominic was brought up to go for big goals but to do so in a way that was considerate to those around him. This is reflective in his company, which seems to build community as much as actual business.

Skyler Mattson is President of the global creative agency, Wongdoody. She is a corporate leader with a very ‘human’ style. This really comes across as she talks about looking after a large team of creatives. I really got the impression she was ‘one of them’! Despite her leadership role and schedule, she’s still there on the ground, involved in projects and balances the corporate elements of her role with her employees’ needs.…

Martyn got his latest business off the ground when he put himself out there, asked for help and then capitalised on those moments. As a business leader, his company, Purple Goat now uses the power of disabled creatives and influencers to create engaging, progressive and representative marketing campaigns and serves big brands such as Tesco and Virgin Media. Martyn is keen to highlight that the disability market is huge with approximately 1.3 billion people in it. He says that these audiences are underserved. As an employer, Martyn employs 50% disabled people (across mobility, neurodiversity, hearing and visual) and he recognises that conversations around disability are not always comfortable even for someone like him because he feels like he, of all people, should get it right! He shares how we can lean into these difficult conversations and not worry about being perfect. Martyn has experienced burnout in recent times and we explore how it’s helped him understand mindfulness at a much deeper level to help him through the tough moments as well as lean into a more modern type of masculinity.…

In my revisit interview with Jon Alexander, Co-founder, the Citizenship Project and now Author of ‘Citizens’, we dive deeper into his philosophy. Jon believes the story of us as consumers is broken. Practically, he gets organisations to ask themselves ‘what would it look like to bring the same creative energy into selling stuff, into involving people?’. He says that if you see people as consumers then you’re starting from the wrong place. This is then merely about ‘how can we sell people stuff’ whereas if you start from a place of seeing them as citizens then you can ask yourselves ‘what are you trying to do in the world?’, ‘what’s the point?’. Delving into purpose in this way and distributing power is central to Jon’s philosophy. It sounds radical, perhaps even communist to some. It isn’t. It’s down to earth stories from across business, government and wider third sector and community groups. We explore examples from The Bodyshop, the National Trust and explore the controversial role that Brewdog have had in the craft beer space. Jon is a deep yet practical voice on how we rethink society.…

Sue McLean started in a man’s world. Some of those men wanted her to have more ‘gravitas’. She wondered if they wanted her to be more like them. Furthermore, there weren’t many female role models that she could look up to as junior lawyer. Most of them worked crazy hours, just like the men and had kids in boarding school, something she didn’t want to do. She could have accepted that and hung around the lower levels of her firms but she saw that her companies lost great women. Things needed to change. Sue still works hard but she has broken the mould. She’s now a Partner at large, corporate law firm, Baker McKenzie working in senior roles 4 days a week while her husband took the larger parenting role of their three children. He was a stay-at-home Dad for many years. Now, Sue is keen to give both men and women flexibility, for example, encouraging senior role job shares and more shared paternity leave. Sue says that leaders need to delegate and give younger, more junior leaders meaty opportunities so that they grow which brings team success. Less focus on overwork, more on overall growth.…

John Timpson is Chairman at Timpson, well-known as a high street brand for shoe repairs and key cutting which now has over 2,000 stores and makes £20million in profit. What is it that works so well? John sought to shake up the business when he originally became CEO, instilling a key principle of ‘Upside Down Management’. This means as much autonomy for staff as is humanly possible. He says there are only two rules to follow (which he shares) the rest is up to the individual to decide. The faith that Timpson puts in people is most powerful when we consider that 10% of their workforce are ex-convicts. John talks about the difficulties people have coming out of prison and the high rates of reoffending when people don’t have a job. Timpson offer them a chance and it pays off for both sides. John is very open about his own mental health challenges and struggles with depression. He shares openly about this in his writing and conversations with others. John is keen that we normalise this and that staff step up to support each other. Indeed, he calls their area managers ‘social workers’ – it’s their job to support the people running the shops in both their personal and professional lives.…
