About Our Guests:
Jorrit Volkers is Dean of Deloitte University Europe Middle East Africa (DU EMEA), one of the world’s largest consulting firms, Deloitte. DU EMEA designs and delivers a world-class curriculum to develop Deloitte practitioners as trusted business advisors and leaders. Its vision, which Volkers himself exemplifies, is to “have a ‘game-changing’ impact on clients and people, and add value to every member firm by embedding a unified culture across borders, functions and levels.” With only four years of operations, under Volkers’ leadership, DU EMEA has already offered professional and leadership programs to nearly 18,000 participants. The mission is to develop the Deloitte culture, develop skills to serve clients better, and develop people. At the heart of the curriculum is the global leader framework and the seven core competencies Deloitte leaders need: living the purpose, influence, performance drive, strategic direction, talent development, competitive edge, and inspirational leadership.
As Prime Minister of Greece from 2009 to 2011, George A. Papandreou understands leading in turbulent times. A public servant for many years, he served, among other posts, as Minister for National Education and Religious Affairs and as Minister of Foreign Affairs before following in his father and grandfather's footsteps to become Greece's Prime Minister. His election to office after the devastation of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008 came with a mandate to increase transparency and reduce corruption in Greece's government while humanizing globalization and its economic effects on Greek citizens. Challenged by time and global financial markets, he made the difficult decision to implement austerity programs and cuts that appeased the Eurozone and the pressures of the global economy. For his work in 2010 of "making the best of Greece's worst year," Foreign Policy magazine named him a Top 100 Global Thinker.

The four distinct steps to conversational receptiveness;How this can be used for any difficult conversation, from mild disagreements to full conflict resolution; andThe critical role your own mood and mindset play in getting positive results in any conversation.For more expert insights on communication and conflict resolution, check these episodes:

Guests: Faris Alami, CEO of International Strategic Management, & Christopher Washington, Provost & EVP for Academic Affairs at Franklin University
You already know the workplace has changed. But have workers changed?
Some have, but not enough. That’s where leaders come in. With AI, WFH, and more, work will continue changing at an ever faster pace, so leaders must provide ways for their teams to mentally retool, too. It’s called being future-fit: the ability to constantly learn new skills and certifications, and unlearn old habits and traditions.
Guests Christopher Washington and Faris Alami join host Maureen Metcalf in a robust discussion on how we can grow future-fit employees – and why it can hurt your company to wait.
Produced in conjunction with the International Leadership Association. Learn more at https://ilaglobalnetwork.org.

Guests: Cynthia Cherrey (CEO) & Mike Hardy (board chair), International Leadership Association
Leadership theory is one thing; real-world leadership practice is another. But the International Leadership Association does both: taking cutting-edge leadership research from academics and incorporating them in the ILA's daily operations.
Their goal is to identify and find solutions for the global challenges today’s leaders face. They chose Geneva, Switzerland, for their 2021 international conference; the city has the largest number of multi-lateral organizations in the world. The conference theme: Reimagining Leadership. ILA’s president/CEO Cynthia Cherrey joins board chair Mike Hardy for an overview of the conference results…and how the Association is a living laboratory for reimagining leadership.

Guest: Dave Levy, Vice President of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS)
AI is all the buzz — but how do you lead your team through all the noise to find what works for you?
Dave Levy clears the noise in this episode. By helping governments discern the best AI tools to serve their communities, he sees the qualities any leader needs to look for…and security is right at the top of the list. So is education, including growing the talent pool to meet demand!
Here's what Dave and Maureen cover:
Why “inventing” your own AI apps can be better in the long run than using a popular off-the-shelf system;Why Amazon is willing to invest heavily in free AI and IT training and education programs for the public; andThe importance of having at least one leader on your board or in your C-suite who knows enough to safely spearhead your AI (and tech) efforts.Other episodes you'll enjoy:

Ukraine. Gaza. Myanmar. As wars continue raging across the globe, we strive to understand the roots of conflict. Mike Hardy finds one tap root is bad leadership.

Guest: Greg Moran, C-level leadership executive & consultant
The business landscape is littered with fallen firms of questionable ethics. Enron is just one example. But the stumbles of today’s organisations — from Boeing to Columbia University — may be rooted in the lack of a clear ethical framework from the top.
That’s the thesis of guest Greg Moran, who lays out the evidence with host Maureen Metcalf in this episode. It’s not mere philosophical debate; as Enron showed, missing a formal ethical code is a very real existential threat.
Here's what Greg and Maureen cover:
The distinction you need to know between morality and ethics;Why it’s concerning that so many college grads haven’t seriously pondered their values as they enter your workforce; andThe critical role ethics play in getting your organization through a crisis.Other episodes you'll enjoy:

Guest: Shaan Patel, CEO of Prep Expert
Here’s an unexpected formula for success. Step 1: Get a lower score than expected on your SAT. Step 2: Parlay your disappointment into a multimillion dollar company.
That’s how Shaan Patel’s leadership journey began. It included a victory on Shark Tank, mentoring from Mark Cuban, and earning an M.D. It’s not the typical path to industry-leading CEO, but the lessons Shaan learned along the path are important for leaders in any sector. He shares those lessons with us in this episode.
Here's what Shaan and host Maureen Metcalf cover:
Why winning is NOT the name of the game in business (but neither is losing!);How embracing change instead of fighting it puts you far ahead of the competition; andThe mindsets Shaan keeps foremost to inform his leadership – and why that leadership is still evolving.Other episodes you'll enjoy:

Guest: Danièle Henkel, Knight of the Order of Merit & CEO of Daniele Henkel Enterprises
What’s love got to do with leadership? Turns out: quite a lot!
Danièle Henkel sees love in many ways: from passion for your work to genuine respect for the people around you. It’s another facet in building trust; in this case, though, the trust is in people rather than institutions. In a world where leaders often take the quick path – and its ethical shortcuts – to achieve success, Danièle’s take on trust and authenticity in the C-suite is enormously refreshing. She shares her personal journey, from her early days in Morocco to running a successful company in Canada – and the lessons that journey taught her. Each setback along the way has only fueled her relentless optimism, and her drive for leaders everywhere to be clear and responsible for their words and actions.
