How effectively can you bring out the best in a group of people?
We can often get trapped into thinking that it’s our role to be the ‘hero’ for a group, where it’s likely that you can be way more effective by being the ‘host’. This episode will help you get out of your own way so you can unlock the potential that exists in those you lead.
Today I’m talking with creative producer and speaker coach D.K. about:
Why avoiding the mundane and embracing creativity is essential for effective leadershipHow the role of a pioneer involves venturing into unexplored territory and creating space for others to follow……and the role of a host involves facilitating meaningful experiences that fully involves othersWhy empathy, voice, and participation are essential elements in group settingsThe power of grace in communication and the significance of quieting one's clevernessThe power of simply sitting and being togetherYou can find D.K. at https://justadandak.com/

What's your relationship like with discomfort? What about asking for feedback? Both of these things are essential to get our heads around if we're going to find our own way to lead and thrive in life.
This entertaining, thought-provoking conversation with Callum McKirdy will help you to become more comfortable with being uncomfortable. You’ll learn:
Why the fear of feedback stems from the disconnect between how we see ourselves and how others see usHow allowing people into our worlds and being vulnerable is the next big thing in breaking down barriersHow leadership is about facilitating an environment for others to bring their best and be their best (but not necessarily to be comfortable)How letting go of control and embracing discomfort can lead to growth and new possibilitiesThat discomfort is not inherently bad; it can be a catalyst for self-reflection and changeYou can find Callum at Website | LinkedIn

Can we ever obtain a fully productive work life, or a fully productive organisation? What does that even mean? This rich conversation with impact coach and business consultant Danni Ermilova Williams will give you a fresh perspective on how to reshape work to create more meaningful, sustaining experiences.
Danni and I explore what it means to live and work well. We dig deep into how we put unseen limits in place and how we can create space for busting those limits for ourselves and our organisational cultures so we can get on with doing and being what matters most. We explore the idea of control versus surrender, and how the power of language can limit us, or open us up to new possibilities.

There's no one way to lead. Yet we need to find a way. Our way. That can be hard to get right. As we find our own way to lead it can be useful to listen to how others found theirs.
I'm your host, Digby Scott, leadership coach and author of Change Makers. I'm on a mission to help people find their authentic way to lead so they can have more impact with less drama. Each fortnight, I'll share a rich, unhurried conversation with someone who’s leaned into and learned from the challenges of leadership, change, and life while staying true to themselves.
You'll get to experience me doing what I do best: asking the surface-piercing questions to help people see what they couldn't see before. Including you.
