He spent seven years leading, speaking, coaching and mobilising volunteers in the not for profit sector where he was responsible for building and nurturing the health, growth and culture of a rapidly expanding membership. It's this experience at the intersection of people, communication and leadership, along with his studies in business and psychology, that formed the foundation for his work today as a trainer, author and speaker to leaders and teams. Shane knows the deep satisfaction of standing in front of a team of people, watching the lights go on, knowing they are with you; at the same time, he understands the sense of panic that can take hold when all eyes are on you in the crucial moments. He is a self-described ‘charismatic introvert’, so he has needed to learn how to face the fear of public speaking by embracing the potential of platform leadership. He has always believed that great communication is much bigger than ‘speaking’, that it must be viewed through the lens of leadership — and it’s through this lens that he approaches his work. Shane believes we don't need better speakers; we need great leaders. During the conversation Julian explores Shane’s book, Lead The Room, in detail. Episode highlights include:
