LeaderShip of Fools: Recent Episodes

Given how isolated people have been during 2020 it makes sense that 2021 will showcase the inherent value within "The Connection Economy"
Colin Beattie is thrilled to join this inspiring conversation with Sharna Peters, Gail Power, Helen Butler.

Our 21st episode of leadership & laughing in 2020 is a special one.
Kelly Hartman continues to shape an amazing career and incredibly full and fulfilled life.
2020 has found her in Boston, London, Italy, Turkey and Greece. This has given her a cultural take on how different communities cope with health and humanity. And she has done this without being able to visit home - in Australia.
Our 15 minutes easily became 20 and then 25 because Kelly is so easy to talk with. Her conversation covers perspective, empathy, judgment, self-care, hugs and keeping it all human.
Take a listen. It is absolutely worth it.

It covers art, games, music, exercise, dance, film, penguins and the hip hop scene of the early 90s.

Alice Sidhu and Colin Beattie check in over zoom to explore the ebb and flow that is 2020.
Please note there are a few minutes in the middle where the audio is not the best. Welcome to 2020.
Alice is a regular host of LeaderShip of Fools so she knows the drill. Just some of the territory covered:
-
Time to pause and pay attention
-
Perfect timing for the big questions about what is really important
-
Preserves, conserves and bread makers
-
Leadership as a marathon
-
Self empathy and understanding
-
Digital transformation - when digital adoption has been accelerated
-
Cool ways to connect
-
We must think about what has been working in 2020 - there are genuine positives
A perfect beginning to our week.

Fran E'silva is such a friend of LeaderShip of Fools. It is wonderful to check in with her in 2020. Amanda Buckley the perfect person to do so.
Fran showcases that she has been asking questions since 1991. And that curiosity has made such a difference in her life and in her career.
Fran makes a special shout out to celebrate and recognise the kind and empathic leaders. She acknowledges that we tend to put too much emphasis on toxic leadership.
She shares habits she has discovered from her Mum and other role models.
And 2020 has been a significant personal year for Fran. And meet Donatello her puppy. Fran is always making the most of life.

Rik Brown. 2020 all the way.

Rik shares how a simple dance routine turned into over 130 (now over 150) dances with his daughter Milly.
Instagram _rik.brown_
Rik also shares his take on leadership and how some leaders have used 2020 as a free swing - for good and sometimes for not so good.
Finally we check in Rik's other passion - his podcast with Spark team-members Karl McConnell and Jason Geary (and sometimes Amanda Buckley) How Bout This. As it celebrates its 100th episode.
It is the host's turn to share what 2020 has meant. This episode showcases The People Spot's own Amanda Buckley in conversation with Colin Beattie.
This conversation makes us smile so much.
Amanda's story about the messiness of 2020 through the lens of creating a functional home studio is the best.
AB Positive. With laughter and tears mixed in.

Todd Lichti and Rik Brown try to make sense of 2020.
One of the great delights of LeaderShip of Fools is the people you meet and the conversations you get to have. Todd Lichti is one of those delights and this conversation is thoughtful, honest and wise.
A lot of our fans love hearing from Todd and the stories he shares about life in the NBA as a professional basketball player.
But his 2020 story about what happens to leaders, parents, sports teams under duress is so timely. And as someone born in the USA and now living in Australia - he shares his take on Donald Trump.
This episode is a great way to end your week.

Sharyn Morton and Amanda Buckley examine WFH life in 2020.
Life with Boxes gets philosophical very quickly. Yet the truth is - it is a very human take on how 2020 is changing work life, leadership, perspective, empathy and being together alone.
Sharyn and Amanda emphasise how critical it is that we find our own voice - but even more importantly - how we help others to find their voice.
LeaderShip of Fools regular Chris Carroll drops by to talk all things 2020 with Rik Brown.
His experience as a CEO and as a professional sportsperson shines through as he makes sense of a year when "life got wobbly".
Chris shares with how working with his team to stop doing things made such a difference. If only he could stop his fascination with streaming services.
Thanks Chris

Graham Plant and Rik Brown explore the year that has been 2020.
Graham is writing a book on leadership and 2020 has enabled him to notice a number of trends.
Rik and Graham consider how WFH suits certain types of leadership and not others. What happens to leadership by walking the floor?
Graham has always been someone who takes leadership seriously but does not take himself seriously. It's a great conversation.
Graham features in an earlier LoF episode - reflecting on his participation in one of the world's toughest races.

Conversation covers:
Bias does exist in workplaces and we need to face in the implications of this as leaders.
More diversity means more conflict and more innovation - leading to better decision making.
Economics must stack up. Productivity and Value will compel change that sticks. Showcase where it is working and we need more benchmarking.
That we must go behind the stats or diversity and learn how to manage and lead for inclusion.
