What do you do when your career has been derailed? Catherine Morgan, award-winning career transition expert, shares how to manage the journey from losing a job, to finding yourself and new opportunities. Catherine firstly emphasises the importance of acknowledging the inevitable emotional rollercoaster, or identity crisis, and being gentle with yourself throughout the ride: truly allowing yourself to process and untangle what has happened, before jumping into figuring out what is next.

However, without a doubt, Spencer passionately advocates for the success of shifting to a flatter organisational structure, with enormous benefits observed from all angles.   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGTP4ZY25hA   Connect with Spencer: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencergallagher/ Website: https://www.cact.us/     If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian on the link below.   https://calendly.com/julianroberts/45min   https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/

From asking hundreds of questions a day as a child, to drastically less as an adult, we all become less curious as we get older. So, what is the benefit of creating a culture of curiosity in an organisation? Today, Josh Purvis, co-founder and chief product officer at Assembly, explores curiosity, listening to real problems and how to express counter-opinions effectively. Josh emphasises the importance of not only incentivising or promoting the wins but also the losses. Punishing losses will diminish the ability of people to experiment and be curious. Leading in this way limits innovation, creates fear-led leadership and ultimately results in more losses. Increasing the rate at which you experiment can help create a culture of curiosity.   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwI02aa4sKw   Connect with Joshua: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuapurvis/ Website: https://www.joinassembly.com/     If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian on the link below.   https://calendly.com/julianroberts/45min   https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/

How can we create an organisational culture that contributes to creativity and innovation? Hear Jason Foo, founder, chairman and CEO of BBD Perfect Storm, explore how we can achieve this. Jason firstly emphasises the importance of clearly articulating the organisation’s purpose, or “north star” as he calls it.

How can leaders create a culture of continuous improvement? Dave Crysler, principal consultant of the Crysler Club, discusses what continuous improvement is, the importance of it, and how leaders can create it within their company culture. Dave shares how the value that continuous improvement adds to companies is vast, however, companies must constantly acknowledge this value and tackle operational inefficiencies continually, and not just when sales, for example, start to slow. Creating a culture of continuous improvement will make people feel valued and listened to, thus resulting in improved performance. Dave goes on to highlight some strategies that leaders can implement into their everyday routines that will encourage a culture of continuous improvement, including insights on how to “operate with excellence”.   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r85QcSRfAeU   Connect with Dave: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcrysler/ Website: https://thecrysler.club/ Email: [email protected]       If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian on the link below.   https://calendly.com/julianroberts/45min   https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/

48 marathons, in 48 days, in 48 of England’s counties. John Clark, also two times winner of Britain’s Natural Strongest Man, shares the lessons he has learned about resilience throughout his 48-day marathon challenge. John highlights how resilience is not always just about having a “get up and go” attitude but also about learning, and recognising the things that are controllable, and the things that are not.  Facing many obstacles throughout the 48 marathons, including injuries, fainting, fatigue, and moments of doubt, John emphasises how easy and justifiable it would have been to give up and stop. However, his resilient mindset urged him to find a strategy to prevent these challenges from occurring again, rather than finding a reason to stop. By focusing on only trying to control the controllable, John truly demonstrates what resilience is.   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utz7QcuIlGg   Connect with John: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebendingbarbell/       If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian on the link below.   https://calendly.com/julianroberts/45min   https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/

How relevant are leadership principles from ancient texts to business leaders today? Rabbi Dr Daniel Friedman, the founder of The Center for Torah Values, strives to make Torah meaningful, relevant, and inspirational to everyday life. Daniel explains how the core leadership principles that are explored in ancient texts are still completely relevant in leadership today but can be re-packaged to suit our current fast-moving business era. Daniel highlights how ancient texts demonstrate resilience, self-awareness, and recognition of personal strengths and weaknesses as vital values to leadership. Therefore, with the inevitable mirroring of past events or ideas in our world today, it is essential that we continue to apply the values emphasised in these texts, to business leadership today.   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLDpdH6CAeI   Connect with Daniel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rabbidanielfriedman/ Email: [email protected]     If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian on the link below.   https://calendly.com/julianroberts/45min   https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/

Be inspired to “just do it” by Aaron Phipps, gold medal-winning Paralympian, who lives his life by this motto.

How is your unconscious self impacting your work? Dr Susan Kahn, business psychologist and coach, explains what our unconscious self is, and how unlocking and thus bringing this buried side of us to the surface, can help us become better leaders.  Strategies to become more self-aware can help us engage with our unconscious self and can allow us to identify potential defence mechanisms which could be destructive at work. Dr Kahn emphasises how our defence mechanisms serve to be protective, however, they can limit what we can achieve at work and create negative differences in the way your team perceive you, compared to the way you perceive yourself. Dr Kahn suggests ways of identifying and addressing these behavioural patterns, which in time can help us become improved leaders.     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMo97gLcPjE   Connect with Susan: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-susan-kahn/ Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.drskahn.com/     If you are looking for a Blueprint to help you and your business manage uncertainty, deal with failure and navigate change then reach out to Julian on the link below.   https://calendly.com/julianroberts/45min   https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/

Hear Paul Barber, CEO and deputy chairman of Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club, discuss how he goes about identifying and developing sustainable talent. Paul highlights how the foundation of acquiring sustainable talent lies within how the organisation’s vision and values align with the potential employee, and how advancing recruitment techniques can support this. From there, regular appraisals can be set up for continuous feedback and development, as well as training and development programmes, and succession planning programmes. Paul emphasises the importance of acting with integrity, thus “inspiring but with honesty”. In the context of the Brighton and Hove football academy, the majority of recruited talent will not make it into the professional football world.
