| Leading Beyond Any Title - Lead by Lifting: Developing Others Through Relational Leadership | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:44:08 | |
If leadership is anything, it’s personal. Relational leadership isn’t about checking in, it’s about tuning in. It’s about building trust, earning influence, and developing people not numbers. That kind of leadership builds social capital, deep, resilient trust that makes performance sustainable. But here’s the truth: When you lead this way, you’ll clash with systems that see humans as resources. You’ll frustrate those chasing quarterly wins while you're focused on long-term growth. You’ll challenge the belief that fear drives results, because you know safety, not silence, is what moves people forward. If you believe leadership is about people, not power, this one’s for you.

| Leading Beyond Any Title – The Resilient Leader | 14 Oct 2025 | 01:33:57 | |

In this discussion, Jennie and Craig explore the vital connection between emotion and performance. You’ll learn how to recognize your limits, manage stress in the moment, and build the long-term emotional resilience that leadership demands. Don’t wait until you’re running on empty, join us to lead with clarity, strength, and staying power

| Leading Beyond Any Title - Strategies for Leading and Thriving with Neurodiverse Teams | 02 Dec 2024 | 00:54:00 | |
In today’s increasingly diverse and complex workplaces, leaders face the crucial task of embracing neurodiversity to foster innovation, creativity, and inclusivity. Neurodiversity—the recognition that people’s brains work differently—brings fresh perspectives, unconventional problem-solving approaches, and unique strengths to the table. Yet, leading neurodiverse individuals requires more than awareness; it demands a commitment to creating environments where all individuals can thrive. While many leaders may strive for inclusivity, truly harnessing the potential of neurodiversity involves more than just good intentions. It requires leaders to foster environments where different ways of thinking are not only accepted but celebrated. This goes beyond providing accommodations; it involves rethinking communication styles, collaboration practices, and even workplace environments to ensure everyone has the space and support they need to succeed. In this episode, we will explore how leaders can better understand neurodiverse team members', and those who support them; offering unique lenses and perspectives. You’ll learn practical strategies to create a culture of psychological safety, where neurodiverse individuals feel empowered to contribute fully. This conversation will highlight the importance of adapting leadership approaches to unlock the full potential of a diverse workforce, allowing teams to excel in a way that benefits everyone.

| Leading Beyond Any Title: Navigating the Workplace Zoo: How to Lead and Work with Challenging Personalities | 18 Nov 2024 | 00:44:53 | |
In the workplace, we often find ourselves interacting with a wild variety of personalities—some productive, others a bit more dangerous. Inspired by Jeroen Kraaijenbrink's "10 Dangerous Personalities to Avoid," this webinar explores how to recognize, manage, and even lead these personalities, rather than simply avoid them.

| Leading Beyond Any Title - Operationalizing Psychological Safety for Team Success | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:43:29 | |
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, leaders are often charged with the critical task of fostering a high-performance culture capable of driving innovation and adaptation. Whether it's sparking creativity, enhancing collaboration, or pioneering new ideas, these goals are deeply rooted in social processes that can't be achieved overnight. Leaders must cultivate an environment that encourages open dialogue, experimentation, and even the occasional unconventional idea, all while maintaining a focus on the performance that leads to results. While psychological safety is frequently touted as the key to this challenge—where everyone feels secure enough to voice their thoughts—it's important to recognize that true psychological safety isn't created by simply declaring it or attending a single webinar. Instead, it requires a sustained, thoughtful approach from leadership. In this conversation, Craig and Jennie will delve into the leader’s role in building this critical climate. You'll gain insights into the subtle cues and self-awareness markers that indicate progress and learn practical strategies for consistently fostering a culture where every team member feels empowered to contribute.

| Leading Beyond Any Title – Prioritisation | 23 Sep 2024 | 00:45:38 | |
In today’s fast-paced work environment, expecting people to simply work harder isn’t prioritizing—it’s counterproductive. The “more is more” mindset can erode organizational effectiveness, diminish work quality, and negatively impact employee well-being. In a world where busyness is often celebrated, it's time to challenge the norm of juggling multiple "priorities." True prioritization means focusing on one thing at a time, with purpose and clarity. Join Jennie and Craig in this conversation where you’ll learn how to use prioritization as a tool for mastery. Discover practical ways to ensure your team's working methods align with your strategic goals and gain the confidence to say no when necessary.

| Leading Beyond Any Title – How to Lead When the Leading Gets Tough | 06 Aug 2024 | 00:26:26 | |
When things are going well, leadership can seem easy, and focusing on developing leadership skills can also seem like a nice thing to do. However, leading when times are tough… when a team is not performing as expected – the number isn’t being hit, the results are being generated, collaboration and communication are failing… can be a different thing. Leadership development during these times can seem like a luxury one cannot afford to take time for. Leading a struggling team is never fun, but paying attention to leadership basics – remain positive, take care of yourself first, check the reality of the situation, diagnose what the cause is, and enrolling your team in determining next steps – are all critically important leadership skills that this episode covers.

| Leading Beyond Any Title: It’s Your Meeting – Make it Matter | 26 Feb 2024 | 00:45:33 | |
Let's face it - the phrase 'I wish I could go to more meetings today' is not a sentiment commonly heard in the workplace. Meetings, despite their integral role, often draw attention for the wrong reasons. According to Otter.ai, remote work has led to a 70% increase in weekly meetings, with an additional 10% in meeting time, resulting in three extra meetings per week for employees. Atlassian adds that the average employee attends 62 meetings per month, with half of them considered a waste of time.

| Leader Lessons - Boundaries | 19 Feb 2024 | 00:10:17 | |

As a leader the expectations are vast – drive engagement, foster high-performance and cultivate a sense of belonging within your team. All this while ensuring the seamless execution of day – to – day tasks. Today’s teams are very human, dynamic, and often decentralized. It’s imperative for leaders to adopt an approach that mirrors the intricacies of human interaction, acknowledging the emotions and inter-dependence that characterize modern teams.

| Leading Beyond Any Title: Make Goal Setting Meaningful | 15 Jan 2024 | 00:45:10 | |
As James Clear said – “New goals don’t deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”
Jennie and Craig discuss goal setting, looking at why and when it works and makes sense to do so, why SMART goals aren’t necessarily the best approach, why goal setting goes wrong and can – at times – feel like a check box exercise, and more. All aimed at helping you think about the systems and processes to focus on to generate great outcomes.

| Leader Lesson: Micromanagement | 08 Jan 2024 | 00:10:21 | |
No one likes to be micromanaged. Leaders need to strive to empower their team members, trust them to do their work done, and strive to hold them accountable to deliver exceptional results. In this short Leader Lesson Jennie and Craig define micromanagement, look at the reasons it happens, discuss how you can identify if you are a micromanager, and finally highlight some of the ways to reduce or eliminate micromanagement. This conversation draws on a prior, longer conversation that Jennie and Craig had about Micromanagement. Resources from that conversation can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/smart-links/AQHUPFNkx5TqNA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7vKXtb1GSSuzohLwu2roO5
