In today's episode Judith Germain speaks to Joris Merks-Benjaminsen about leadership consistency and ethical actions. They discuss the challenge of ensuring leadership consistency across an organisation, not just at the top. They note how organisational culture and values can drift over time if not actively maintained. Joris explains how leaders can inadvertently create inconsistencies through their behaviours and decision-making processes.
Key Takeaways * Leadership consistency requires balancing opposing forces (e.g. empathy vs accountability) while under constant pressure * Small, conscious leadership behaviors have magnified impact on organisational culture * Effective leaders must actively cultivate psychological safety and open communication with their teams * "Managing without power" mindset helps leaders tune into team needs and reduce unintended pressures
In this conversation Judith and Joris explore the idea of personalising leadership to the needs of individual team members. They emphasise the importance of creating psychological safety, encouraging feedback, and being conscious of how one's position of power can impact others. Joris suggests the "managing without power" mindset as a way to stay grounded.
Joris Merks-Benjaminsen is an award winning author. His latest book is titled 'Managing without power'. Joris had a leading role in Google's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives, and was one of the highest scoring managers in the company's history.

In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Mónica Esgueva, about her life experiences and insights on mindfulness, wisdom, and finding meaning in life. They discuss Monica's diverse career path, including working as an economist for Prada in London, then moving to Paris to work for INSEAD, and her earlier experience as a semi-professional tennis player.

She contrasted this with a more individualistic Western interpretation of mindfulness.
They discuss ways to integrate ancient Eastern philosophies around mindfulness and purpose with modern Western mindsets, highlighting the universal human need for meaning and the dangers of a purely materialistic worldview.

In today's conversation Judith Germain speaks to Neil Jurd OBE who contrasts overly complicated leadership frameworks and emphasises the importance of simplicity. Judith notes the value of leaders being able to create space for their teams to contribute.
Key Takeaways * Neil emphasises simplifying leadership into two key concepts: connection (building relationships) and direction (clear, compelling purpose) * Both agree leaders must genuinely care about followers and enable everyone to contribute, not just dominate * Over-controlling and micromanaging are common leadership mistakes; allowing space for others to think/decide is crucial
In this conversation, they discuss common leadership mistakes, with Neil highlighting the tendency for leaders to get overly involved and micromanage, rather than empowering their teams. The antidote is for leaders to step back, allow others to think and decide, and focus on inspiring and aligning the team around the shared purpose.
Neil Jurd OBE is the author of the Leadership Book and founder of leadership training organisation and online leadership streaming platform Leader Connect.

- Ensuring leaders model the desired values and behaviors

In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Julianna Newland on gender dynamics in workplace performance management.

Key Takeaways * Women face unique challenges in performance management, often lacking equal promotion opportunities * Male managers tend to promote men more, while female managers promote more equitably * Women must actively self-advocate and seek mentorship to overcome workplace barriers * Employers should drive gender balance from the top-down, reinforced by HR and line management
In this conversation Judith and Julianna focus on how men and women tend to interact differently in the workplace, particularly when it comes to performance management.

In this episode Judith Germain and Bodhi Aldridge discuss the concept of true freedom. He shares how many business leaders are searching for freedom in the wrong place, and how true freedom is about freedom from suffering, not just external freedom.
Bodhi and Judith have an in-depth discussion about the role of emotions in leadership and organisational culture. They emphasise the need for emotional awareness, the ability to feel and process emotions, and creating psychologically safe environments where people can be vulnerable. They contrast this with the tendency to suppress or judge emotions, which can hinder personal and professional growth.
Key Takeaways * Discussed the concept of true freedom - freedom from suffering and living in one's innate state of freedom * Importance of emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and creating psychologically/emotionally safe spaces for teams * Flow state is about embodied presence in action, not just hyper-focus * High-trust teams that operate as a collective entity tend to be more productive and innovative * Need to shift from outdated metrics of productivity to more holistic human-centric measures
Topics Concept of True Freedom * Freedom from suffering by not resisting painful emotions and experiences * Freedom is our innate state, like the freedom children experience naturally * Many entrepreneurs seek freedom through business ownership but end up feeling trapped * True freedom comes from inner work - self-inquiry, emotional intelligence, presence
Importance of Emotions in Leadership * Most are not taught to process emotions in a healthy way * Judging emotions as good/bad leads to suppression which causes issues * Great leaders create psychologically and emotionally safe spaces for teams * Sharing emotions and being vulnerable builds trust and empathy in teams * Emotional maturity is feeling emotions without dumping on others
Flow State * Flow is embodied presence in action, not just hyper-focus * Comes from slowing down the thinking mind through practices like meditation * Allows intuition, creativity and innovation to emerge * Rare but powerful for teams to experience collective flow
High-Trust Teams * Trust is built through vulnerability * Teams with deep trust operate as a synced collective entity * This unlocks higher productivity and innovation * Lack of trust between functions/departments causes siloed thinking
Shifting Metrics of Success * Need to move beyond reductionist, quantitative metrics * Hard to measure aspects like culture, trust, engagement have huge impacts * Holistic human-centric measures needed to attract/retain top talent
In this conversation they discuss the importance of emotional maturity and self-awareness for leaders, and how creating a culture of emotional safety and vulnerability on teams can unlock greater productivity and connection.
Bodhi commitment to self-development, to life-long learning and to supporting men in business has allowed him to influence and support many organisations and leaders around the globe. He guides men to develop presence, open their hearts, and integrate their masculine and feminine energy so that they can start paying attention to what matters most.

He was struck by the negative views on being led by others, which motivated him to learn more about effective leadership.
Key Takeaways * 77% of leadership effectiveness comes from who you are as a person, not what you do as a leader (the "Who Not What" principle) * Being "inwardly sound" (grounded, stable) and "others-focused" are key to being an effective leader * Effective leadership development requires depth (going beyond just behaviors), community (peer learning groups), and time (consistent effort over time)
Topics The "Who Not What" Principle * Based on research showing 77% of leadership effectiveness variability was driven by 2 out of 8 measured areas - these 2 areas were about who the leader is as a person, not what they do * The truth is that leadership effectiveness comes more from who you are than what you do as a leader * Highlights the importance of focusing on the "who" of leaders in development, not just skills/behaviours
Inwardly Sound and Others-Focused Leaders * Effective leaders combine being "inwardly sound" (grounded, stable, can be counted on) and "others-focused" (primary focus is on others, not self) * This powerful combination of qualities is what produces leadership people want to follow * Organisations need leaders at all levels who truly value and develop people, not just use them as "widgets"
Leveraging the "Who" in Leadership Development * Requires depth to go beyond just surface behaviors and explore perspectives, motives, worldviews * Benefits from a community/peer group for accountability, learning from each other's stories * Takes consistent time and effort, as inner growth and development happens gradually over time
In this conversation Tim emphasises the importance of leaders being both inwardly sound and others-focused.
Tim and Judith discuss the importance of investing in leadership development not just for senior executives, but also for frontline managers and supervisors who have a disproportionate impact on the organisation. They caution against neglecting leadership at lower levels.
Tim Spiker's book, The only leaders worth following, reveals the data-driven, accidentally-discovered, and rarely leveraged truth within leadership known as the Who not what principle.

Key Takeaways * Archery teaches the importance of finding consistent mistakes before correcting them * Observing chickens provides insights on motivation, timing, letting go, and recognising others' perspectives * Building confidence in women by getting them out of comfort zones, learning new skills, surrounding them with other confident women, and helping others
Topics Archery Lessons * Aim for a tight grouping first, even if consistently off-target - this reveals the consistent mistake to fix * Parallels to finding the root cause of issues in leadership/business before addressing symptoms * Need to adjust for changing conditions (wind, etc.), just as leadership requires adaptability
Chicken Observations * Getting chickens to come by understanding their motivations, not coaxing/prodding * Knowing when to "let go" after doing your best, as with team members or projects * Importance of training/shaping behaviors early, as with new hires * Chickens responding to the leader's voice = followers understanding and aligning with the leader
Building Confidence in Women * Research shows women focus more on competence, men on confidence for opportunities * Getting out of comfort zone, learning new skills, surrounding yourself with other confident women, and helping others all build confidence * Confidence gap is generational and expected to shrink as younger generations rise
In this conversation Sarah explains how her Project 1490 community aims to help build confidence in women, drawing on research about the differences in how men and women approach opportunities. She discusses strategies like getting out of comfort zones, learning new skills, and supporting each other.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Patrick Nelson about navigating high stakes leadership. Patrick shared details about his challenging childhood, including growing up in a single-parent home, witnessing drug use, and nearly committing suicide as a teenager. Despite these difficulties, he was able to graduate high school and eventually join the Army after 9/11, which he credits as one of the best decisions he ever made.
Key Takeaways * Patrick shared his powerful story of a leadership decision that cost a soldier's life, forever altering his perspective on leadership * He discussed navigating "high-stakes" leadership moments when the pressure is on to perform and keep people safe * Patrick shares the importance of managing emotional reactions and using thoughtful responses instead * He provided the helpful "wind the clock" technique to pause before reacting
In this conversation Patrick shared a powerful technique he learned from a former Air Force colleague - the practice of "winding the clock" to pause and respond thoughtfully rather than react emotionally in high-pressure situations. He emphasised the importance of managing one's emotional responses and using more deliberate, considered actions as a key to effective leadership.
Patrick Nelson is an experienced leader that spent nearly 7 years in the US Army as a paratrooper and completed 3 combat deployments leading soldiers. His military awards include the Bronze Star and Purple Heart Medals.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Nathan Ott, CEO of the GC Index about enhancing the collective impact of teams. Judith discusses her own highly balanced GC Index® profile, which initially puzzled the GC Index® team. She explains how her ability to rapidly move between the different proclivities has both benefits and challenges, and how understanding her profile has helped her communicate more effectively.
Key Takeaways * The GC Index® measures how people are energised (proclivities) for impact across 5 areas: Game Changer, Strategist, Implementer, Polisher, Playmaker * Understanding an executive team's collective proclivities allows them to align objectives, roles and approach for maximum impact * Low scores don't mean inability, just low energy - important for role fit * Proclivities can change over time based on context/environment
In this conversation Judith and Nathan emphasise how the GC Index® can help teams identify gaps and leverage their complementary strengths. Nathan shares his own GC Index® profile, noting how it has evolved over time as the company has grown and scaled. He reflects on the challenges of balancing his natural game changer and polisher tendencies with the need for more strategic and implementation-focused work.

In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Jeremy Zoch on overlapping traits between athletes and organisational leadership. Jeremy shares his background as a healthcare executive, starting as a certified nursing assistant and working his way up to leadership roles. He discusses his passion for providing the best care for patients, employees, and the community.
Key Takeaways * Setting goals, planning steps, and flexibility are key traits shared by athletes and leaders * Perseverance, giving your best effort, and adapting to changes are important mindsets * Leaders should consider employees' whole selves, not just performance, to motivate them * Strategies involve responding to competitors/market while leveraging your strengths * Appreciating what you can do, even if limited, provides perspective
Topics Goal Setting and Planning * Athletes set goals (e.g. running marathons) and plan training steps to achieve them * Similarly, businesses set goals for new products/markets and plan execution steps * Visualising interim milestones and the end goal is valuable for both
Flexibility and Perseverance * Being flexible to change course when needed is critical for athletes and leaders * Persevering through challenges and giving your best effort is a shared mindset * Having a firm foundation but being open to change is important
Considering the Whole Person * High performance requires accounting for personal factors impacting motivation * Meeting employees where they are emotionally can help get their best * Data tracking progression is useful, but personal context matters
Competitive Strategy * In sports and business, strategy involves responding to competitors' moves * While leveraging your strengths, you may need to reinforce weaker areas * The ability to make adjustments based on the situation is key
Perspective and Appreciation * When injured, Jeremy learned to appreciate what he could still do (walking) * This provided renewal and gratitude for his health when recovered * The "get to" vs "have to" mindset around work can be empowering
In this conversation Jeremy explains how strategy in sports, like tennis, is about more than just executing your own strengths - it requires adapting to your competitors and the environment. He draws parallels to how business leaders need to balance playing to their strengths while also being responsive to the market.
The overarching message is that the mental toughness, strategic thinking, and holistic approach that defines great athletes can and should be applied to successful organisational leadership. This is the most valuable insight from the interview.

Erika Sinner introduced herself as the CEO of a company that helps small-to-mid-sized pharmaceutical companies bring products to market, and as the owner of a company called Tiny Superheroes that helps kids with disabilities see their disability as a superpower. She also mentioned that she recently published a book about the grief associated with losing pets.
Key Takeaways * Grief is a natural human experience that impacts work productivity, so employers should support employees through difficult times * Building trust and having regular 1-on-1 check-ins allows managers to understand employees' needs during grief * Compassionate leave policies should be flexible to accommodate different types of loss (pets, miscarriages, etc.) * Prioritise creating a supportive culture over rigid policies that may be abused
In this conversation Judith and Erika explored the complexities of creating bereavement policies that are inclusive of diverse relationships and types of loss, such as the death of a pet or a miscarriage. They discussed the need to balance consistency with compassion, and the role of managers in having empathetic conversations to understand each employee's unique situation.
Erika emphasised that while the workplace is not a family, it should be a supportive community where employees look out for one another and are willing to adjust and cover for each other during difficult times. She stressed the importance of managers building trust and genuine connections with their team members.
Overall, Erika brought a fresh perspective on supporting employees through diverse grieving experiences, which is not always a top priority for organisations. Her insights challenged some common assumptions about bereavement policies.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Rupal Patel about her book "From CIA to CIO" and the "CIA mindset". Rupal shares that she has been a voracious reader and writer since childhood, with a deep appreciation for the power of words and communication. She discusses how this passion has been a consistent theme throughout her life, from writing fiction and plays as a child to her current work as an author.
Rupal explains that she worked at the CIA from her early 20s to early 30s, primarily as an analyst focused on political and military analysis. She enjoyed being surrounded by brilliant colleagues and the sense of mission in protecting the US, though she acknowledges a "darker side" to the work at times.
Key Takeaways * The CIA mindset involves speaking truth to power, acknowledging uncertainties, and having enlightened swagger (confidence despite challenges) * Going deep into your identity and values is key to thinking bigger * Practice tactical ignorance by curating inputs and ignoring irrelevant noise/negativity * Surround yourself with the right 5 people who inspire and push you forward
In this conversation Rupal outlines two key aspects of the "CIA mindset" that she has carried forward: 1) Speaking truth to power - providing hard truths and acknowledging uncertainties, even to senior leaders, and 2) Enlightened swagger - accepting the realities of the world while still being ambitious and bold in pursuing one's goals.
Rupal Patel is a former CIA analyst turned 2x Founder and CEO, bestselling author, consultant and speaker. You can find out more about our guest and today's episode in this Maverick Paradox Magazine article here.

He is currently writing a book about the meaning of Britishness and the role of the landscape in shaping national identity.

In today's Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Marie Young about stress management for entrepreneurs. Marie shares insights on the unique stresses faced by entrepreneurs, such as burnout from wearing multiple hats and the loneliness of leadership. She emphasises the importance of reconnecting with one's purpose and finding ways to regularly recharge.
Key Takeaways * Marie is a stress management coach and embodiment teacher who helps clients, especially entrepreneurs, reconnect with their bodies and slow down racing thoughts through relaxation techniques * She teaches "body-informed resiliency" which uses mouth, eye, trunk, and breathwork to regulate the nervous system and release stress lodged in the body * For entrepreneurs, common stress reactions include burnout from wearing many hats, lack of connection with like-minded people, and being disconnected from one's authentic self * A key technique is diaphragmatic breathing to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and achieve a balanced, regulated state
In this conversation Marie discusses her "body-informed resiliency" approach, which involves specific exercises for the mouth, eyes, trunk, and breath to help the body and mind regulate the nervous system. She walks Judith through a diaphragmatic breathing exercise as an example.
Marie Young works with high achievers whose stress levels are currently unmanageable or close to it. She helps them create practices to support calm aret and grounded states of being and goal attainment.

Aneace shares his background, including his career transition from being a tech entrepreneur to becoming an executive coach, and his recent family trip to Italy.
Key Takeaways * Personal transformation is essential for effective leadership, especially in today's rapidly changing environment * Midlife brings physiological, neurological, and parental changes that necessitate adapting one's leadership style * Instead of resisting change, leaders should become aware of and lean into the transformations happening in their lives

In today's episode Judith Germain speaks to Kelly L Campbell about trauma-informed leadership. Kelly shares her personal journey, including starting a successful digital marketing agency in her 20s, but eventually feeling unfulfilled and selling the company. This led her to become a trauma-informed leadership coach, focusing on helping leaders integrate their own past trauma and lead from a place of greater self-awareness and empathy.
Key Takeaways * Trauma-informed leadership is about understanding what might be happening internally for people and leading with compassion * Epigenetic research suggests some leaders may be hormonally imbalanced due to childhood trauma, impacting empathy * There is hope for more conscious leadership from younger generations who are discussing emotions/trauma * Becoming trauma-informed involves training to recognise trauma responses and practicing the mindset consistently
In this conversation Kelly explains that trauma-informed leadership is about understanding how past trauma can impact people's behavior and responses, and leading with compassion, consent, and consideration for employees' and clients' humanity.
Kelly shares new research on how intergenerational trauma can impact leaders' brain chemistry and hormonal balance, potentially making it difficult for them to feel empathy and make decisions for the greater good. She suggests this research could have implications for how we evaluate leadership capabilities.
Kelly L Campbell speaks and writes about trauma, leadership, and consciousness - 'The new TLC'. Kelly is a Trauma Informed Leadership Coach to emerging and established leaders who know they are meant for more.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Greg Nutter about the common mistakes B2B sales people and companies make
Key Takeaways * Don't spend too much time talking about your product - focus on solving the customer's problems and opportunities * Influence through asking questions, not telling - get the customer thinking * Plan and strategise around the customer's buying process, not just your selling process * Ensure management understands and adopts the sales methodology * Marketing should create content aligned with the customer's buying stage * AI may displace sellers who only pitch products, but not those who understand the buying process

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Kapil Kulshreshtha about finding your voice, increasing influence, and breaking the corporate status quo.
Key Takeaways * Finding your voice means knowing your core identity, values, and letting that drive your expression authentically * Increasing influence happens naturally when coming from a place of being, leveraging strategies/tactics like branding, networking * Breaking corporate status quo means defining your own success, not following others' definitions - you can "have it all" on your own terms * Focus on one passion/career path fully rather than dividing efforts between multiple side hustles
Topics Enjoying Life's Activities * Spending time with kids, coaching clients on possibilities, reading/learning * Doing things that make him feel alive and energised
Kapil's Background * Worked 22 years in corporate (Microsoft, Cognizant) before becoming a coach in 2017 * Failed initially as a coach, but now runs a substantial coaching business * Helps individuals in corporate build powerful careers/lives aligned with identity
Finding Your Voice * Not just about expression, but knowing your core identity/values driving everything * Faking it or trying to be someone else is unsustainable - be authentic * Let your voice emerge from who you truly are, not superficial changes
Increasing Influence * Happens naturally when coming from your authentic place of being * Then leverage strategies like branding, networking, content creation * Having a coach can help amplify your influence
Breaking Corporate Status Quo * Most follow the same plan: get job > get promoted > make money > buy things * This follows others' meaning of success, not your own definition * Redefine success for yourself - you can "have it all" on your terms, not balanced * Don't divide efforts between multiple hustles - go all-in on one passion
In this conversation Kapil explains that finding your voice is not just about how you express yourself, but about knowing your core values and identity and letting that drive everything you do. He emphasises the importance of being authentic rather than trying to simulate a persona.
Judith and Kapil discuss strategies for increasing influence, including leveraging your authentic voice and identity, as well as using tactics like personal branding, content creation, and networking. They caution against manipulation and emphasise the importance of coming from a place of being rather than just doing.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Steve Scanlon about his concept of "inside-out leadership" and how he applies neuroscience principles in his coaching practice.
Key Takeaways * Inside-out leadership focuses on internal motivation and self-awareness rather than external factors * Metacognition (thinking about one's thinking patterns) is a key practice for developing self-awareness and agency over mindset * Naming emotions without judgment allows you to "tame" them rather than resist them * The Pixar film "Inside Out" provides insightful metaphors for understanding emotions and the mind
Topics Inside-Out Leadership * Contrasts internal vs. external motivation - leadership should come from within, not just external rewards * Despite much research on leadership, many leaders struggle to embody leadership principles internally * Requires the hard "work" of self-reflection and change from the inside-out
Metacognition * Awareness and understanding of one's thought patterns * A practice of non-judgmentally observing thoughts and emotions as they arise * Allows you to "name" and therefore "tame" emotions rather than resist them * Curiosity about thoughts/emotions is key, not judgment
Neuroscience Insights * Pixar's "Inside Out" provides apt metaphors for the mind and emotions * "If you can name it, you can tame it" - naming emotions defuses their power * "What you resist, persists" - resisting emotions makes them cling longer
In this conversation Steve explains the practice of metacognition - being aware of one's own thought patterns without judgment. He discusses how this can give people more agency over their mindset and emotional responses, using examples like noticing feelings of anxiety.
Judith and Steve discuss how they each apply neuroscience principles, like understanding brain chemistry and neuroplasticity, to help people improve their self-awareness and mindset. They emphasise the importance of making neuroscience concepts practical and actionable.
Steve Scanlon is the founder and CEO of Rewire, Inc an a self-proclaimed neuroscience geek. His goal is to help leaders in transform themselves and their teams through a greater understanding of the science behind how the brain manages change.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Efren A. Delgado about discovering your unexpected enemies, allies and purpose. Efren shares details about his background, including his love of music (especially classic rock and Baroque classical), his work as a bodyguard, and his previous career as an FBI agent in both the National Security and Criminal Divisions. He explains the different missions and focuses of those two FBI divisions.

The "Tool Belt of Uncomfortable Truths" * Need to assess reality objectively and embrace uncomfortable truths to live meaningfully * Emotion is powerful but must be guided by logic/reason to be constructive * Humility and selflessness enable wisdom and fulfillment

- Need to be deliberate protagonists in our own stories, not passive bystanders
Judith shares her views on his observations.
In this conversation Efren discusses his concept of "oil and water" - the contrast between emotion/passion and logic/reason. He uses the metaphor of a military tank to illustrate the importance of directing one's emotional energy towards a clear purpose and goal, rather than acting impulsively. He emphasises the value of objectivity, humility, and self-reflection.
Efren A Delgado is a speaker and author of The Opposite is True. Efren reveals the counterintuitive blueprint for understanding yourself, others and how to achieve meaningful success - exposing how true strength lies in humility, not oppression.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Nik Kinley about how to rewrite our Leadership Code. Nik outlines strategies for leaders to identify their underlying tendencies, understand where they come from, and consciously work to interrupt or replace unhelpful patterns with new, more purposeful behaviours. He emphasises that this is an ongoing process, not a quick fix, and requires self-awareness and a willingness to make changes.
Key Takeaways * Our childhood experiences shape our leadership style and tendencies in subtle yet impactful ways. * There is no inherently "good" or "bad" leadership code - it depends on the context. * Self-awareness of our tendencies enables us to adapt our leadership approach. * Change takes time but is possible through intentionally developing new behaviours.
In this conversation Nik delves deeper into how childhood experiences, both positive and negative, can shape a leader's tendencies and behaviors. He provides examples of how early exposure to things like conflict resolution, authority figures, and emotional expression can become ingrained patterns that leaders fall back on, even subconsciously.
Nik Kinley is a consultant, coach and author.

Continuing with World Creativity and Innovation Week The Maverick Paradox continues to mark the occasion with a discussion on innovation and ethical leadership from The Maverick Paradox's 6 Featured Columnists. The columnists are based in a number of countries and work asynchronous to each other.
Therefore to hear the views of all the columnists we have created two short panels. In this Innovation and Ethical Leadership Panel, Judith Germain, Ben Baker and Jo Farmer discuss the interplay between the two concepts.
Key Takeaways * The group had an open discussion on ethics and leadership to highlight their different perspectives. + According to Ben, there are no absolutes in ethics. Definitions depend on the individual/group. Leadership involves finding common ground. + Jo emphasised autistic people have a strong sense of justice. Situations require understanding from both sides. + Judith said alignment comes from organisational values. Leaders should examine if they fit.
In this conversation differing definitions of ethics and leadership surfaced. Common ground lies in organisational values if reinforced regularly. Innovation arises from resolving lack of clarity through improved communication of those values.

Therefore to hear the views of all the columnists we have created two short panels. This is the second panel and features Judith Germain who hosts, and is joined by Ben Baker and Jo Farmer.
Key Takeaways * Both Ben and Jo provided thoughtful perspectives on innovation from the lens of their expertise in communication and autism. * Communication, authenticity, and understanding diverse perspectives are key for organisations to align teams and put values into action.
In this conversation Ben explained that companies should understand their identity and purpose before innovating communication. Storytelling is key to inspire change by helping people understand why it benefits them and the company. However, stories must be simple, repeatable and valued by employees to be effective.
Jo explained autistic brains see possibilities others miss due to thinking differently. Problem prevention is prioritised over problem-solving. Innovation lies in autistic voices being heard plainly rather than masked. Understanding different perspectives unlocks potential.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Jodi Hume about leadership myths and decision fatigue.
Key Takeaways * Hustle culture and the idea that it's "lonely at the top" are damaging myths about leadership * Emotional/energetic regulation is crucial for optimal executive functioning and decision making * Having a support network you can process decisions with is key to avoiding decision fatigue * Saying "yes" and figuring things out along the way can build confidence
In this conversation they discuss how neurodivergence often aids entrepreneurship, with different thinking driving innovation. Understanding individual needs optimises one's decision-making.
They agree doubt ensures prudence but imposter syndrome labels normal fears. Success emerges from navigating uncertainty, not perfectionism.
After a 15 year career as COO of a rapidly growing architecture firm, Jodi Hume now provides on-call decision support and facilitated leadership conversations for startup founders and entrepreneurs across the globe. She is also lead singer of The Wafflers.

In this episode Judith Germain and Katherine Lazaruk discuss professional presence and leadership beyond stereotypical norms.
Key Takeaways * Leadership presence is innate and can be cultivated, but does not guarantee taking on a leadership role. * Knowing your true self and being congruent with internal and external expression builds presence. * Diverse perspectives are needed at leadership tables for organisations to thrive. * Non-white women face double bias and must navigate risks in self-expression.
In this conversation Katherine argues leadership presence is more than superficial rules, exploring what's beyond the dominant white male paradigm. Judith counters some innate presence remains regardless of choices.
They discuss how current success measures harm humanity and the planet. Continuous growth is unnatural; balance and limits are needed. Leadership must evolve for whole human beings.
Katherine Lazaruk is a professional presence expert and maverick. She started her business in image consulting but hates shopping. Katherine knows what's it like to be an outlier in an industry and knows how it can be turned into an advantage.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Kristin Lytle about talent identification and its impact on organisational culture.
Key Takeaways * Self-awareness and self-regulation are critical skills for leaders to have. Leaders who can recognise when they are discombobulated and take a moment to re-center themselves before interacting with others have a huge impact. * Succession planning is still valuable but needs to focus more on developing talent pools rather than detailed individual plans, due to the speed of change today. * Trust is built when employees feel they can predict what an organisation will do - keeping commitments to develop and grow employees builds trust. * Catch people doing things right and help them see their own talents, don't just focus on the gaps.
In this conversation Kristin explains that identifying talent is just the first step - leaders must support and invest in identified talent, even through mistakes, otherwise potential goes wasted. Judith agreed large companies often narrowly define roles instead of developing diverse potential.
They agree that an organisation's culture reflects the behaviours it rewards - if problematic actions are tolerated, that sets the standard. Predictability and trust come from following through on commitments.
Kristin Lytle is the CEO of Leaders Edge. She is on a mission to help companies and individuals unlock the full potential of their talent.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Jenny L Mitchell about leadership journeys and approaches.
Key Takeaways * There are parallels between Judith's "maverick" leadership style and Jenny's "underdog" leadership style - both value authenticity, curiosity, and bringing out the best in others. * Mindset is key - assume positive intent, focus on possibilities rather than obstacles. * Critical thinking skills in younger generations may not transfer across all domains - need to educate holistically. * Leadership is a constant process of negotiation and seeking to understand. Meetings should drive decisions, not just discussion. * Women leaders often take on "glass cliff" assignments and overcome perception barriers on their journey. Visionary mindset helps. * Important for marginalised voices (women, people of colour) to be heard and supported as leaders.
In this conversation Judith and Jenny debate different leadership styles like mavericks and underdogs, with Jenny advocating for embracing challenges and Judith emphasising seeking first to understand others' perspectives.
Jenny outlines five pillars of top women leaders' experiences: embodied roles, embracing challenges, overcoming perceptions, accepting high-risk assignments, and visionary mindsets.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Claire Milligan about her experience living with ADHD and how it impacts her life and work.
Key Takeaways * ADHD manifests differently in each person - it's a spectrum. Claire has inattentive ADHD. * Getting diagnosed as an adult woman is difficult since ADHD often shows up differently than the "hyperactive young boy" stereotype. * Medication helps provide a baseline level of dopamine to aid focus and mood regulation. * Creating external structure and systems helps compensate for ADHD challenges. Calendars, reminders, checklists are common tools. * Starting small tasks can create momentum to tackle bigger, challenging tasks. * Focus on outcomes rather than process to leverage ADHD strengths like hyperfocus. * ADHD and autism have overlap - "audio HD" - and often co-occur.
In this conversation Claire explained the different types of ADHD symptoms, from hyperactive to inattentive. She discusses the challenges of diagnosis in women and how ADHD affects her work through hyperfocus.
Claire warns of overcommitting while distracted. Neurodiversity benefits companies if success is judged on outcomes rather than processes. Reasonable adjustments help ADHD employees thrive.
Claire Milligan thrives on distilling complex problems down to their core issues - and turning these pragmatic findings into groundbreaking solutions. As the CEO of startup Aimably, she's applying her unique superpowers to help businesses grow by spending smarter and dramatically reducing their cloud costs.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Dr Darnyelle Jervey Harmon about mindset and manifesting financial abundance.
Key Takeaways * Mindset is critical - it makes up 90-95% of manifesting financial abundance. The rest is skill/action. * We must challenge limiting beliefs about money we internalised in childhood. * Affirmations reprogram your subconscious mind. Say them first thing in morning and before bed. * Staying in a state of abundance keeps you vibrating at a level where abundance can enter. * Take inspired action - God/Universe blesses effort. Faith without works is dead.
In this conversation Darnyelle shares her excitement for life, money, and empowering women entrepreneurs. She believes having the right mindset is key to achieving millions through one's business. Darnyelle clarified that while mindset is paramount, one must still take inspired action for manifestation. Faith and works synergise when seeking from a place of empowerment within God's principles.

In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain and Ben Risser discuss financial intelligence vs financial literacy and how it empowers business owners to make better financial decisions.
Key Takeaways * Financial intelligence provides high-level, actionable data to make key business decisions. Financial literacy is the ability to understand financial information. Together they provide financial situational awareness. * Many small business owners operate financially blind between meetings with their accountant. A fractional CFO can provide guidance throughout the year. * A CFO can help prevent costly mistakes and position a business for growth. Their fee is small compared to the value they provide. * Accurately projecting cash flow is critical for a business to have financial situational awareness. A CFO provides an experienced, strategic perspective.
In this conversation Ben shares that accurately projecting cash flows is critical but difficult, determining distributions and avoiding shortages. Financial partners provide strategic foresight to balance owner isolation in decision-making.
Ben Risser is an aerospace engineer turned Fractional CFO, focused on helping executive leaders replace financial uncertainity with Financial Situational Awareness, thereby increasing their mission impact.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Chris Bonnello from Autistic Not Weird. They have an insightful discussion about how human progress relies on diversity of thought, and they gain perspectives on autism in the workplace.
Chris alao details his journey from struggling to find employment to becoming a respected autism advocate, emphasising a shift from focusing on weaknesses to strengths.
Key Takeaways * Autism brings valuable strengths and perspectives, though society often only focuses on the challenges. * Accommodations should not be seen as an act of kindness, but a normal practice to help people perform at their best. * Disclosing autism strategically in interviews/applications can highlight strengths, if framed properly. * Progress comes from appreciating different perspectives and listening, not trying to make people conform.
In this conversation they debated the need to shift perceptions of autism from a burden to a valuable form of diversity, considering the harms of portrayals that only depict inspiration or struggle.
Chris recounted overcoming obstacles to find fulfilling work in special education and advocacy, though public views still associate autism with charity cases over professional careers.
They agreed society should normalise accommodating differences rather than view it as a favour, and that diversity enriches organisations when people feel empowered to contribute uniquely.
Chris Bonnello is an autistic advocate, speaker, and former teacher, who discusses the priceless value of neurodiversity through his platform Autistic Not Weird.

Learn and adjust as you go. * Create an actionable strategic plan in 48 hours focused on: how big, who to serve, what they crave. * Differentiate with an "only" statement, not claims of being the "best". * Hire for "goosebumps" - find people who love other people. * Kill dumb rules that frustrate customers. Reduce friction, increase flow. * Relentlessly translate strategy into line-of-sight actions for each employee
In this conversation Roy emphasised executing strategies over talking about them. He created a planning process focused on immediate, measurable growth through defining goals and key actions within 24 months.

Key Takeaways * Social selling is about building relationships, not pitching or "selling" * Being genuine and vulnerable helps connect with people online * Consistent posting and engaging is key, even if you don't get a lot of likes/comments * Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and post - you have to in order for people to see you

In this episode Judith Germain and Dr Omekongo Dibinga have an insightful discussion about lies and stereotypes about Black people and how to combat racism.
This episode was originally recorded in October 2023.
Key Takeaways
- Racist stereotypes and lies about Black people are pervasive globally, not just in the US. These false narratives must be actively challenged.
- Leaders must commit to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts for real change to occur in organisations. Performative efforts are not enough.
- Safe spaces are crucial, but bringing everyone together too soon can be counterproductive. Meet in separate affinity groups first.
- We must look at our own lives and circles critically and ask hard questions through an anti-racist lens. The "Rule of Seven" exercise is one way to do this.
- Nuance and context is key. We must ask better questions and not make assumptions.
In this conversation Dr Omekongo Dibinga elaborated on the global lies and stereotypes about Black people that impact perceptions and treatment. He explained how these false narratives stem from historical racism and persist through media, policies, and cultural conditioning. Omekongo and Judith discussed concrete solutions organisations can implement for authentic diversity, equity and inclusion. This requires commitment from leadership, assessing biases, employee feedback, hiring practices and going beyond performative efforts.
Dr Omekongo Dibinga is a Professor, DEI Consultant and poet.

In today's episode Judith Germain speaks to Emily Jaenson about Emily's experience overcoming shyness to become a confident speaker and author on building confidence.
Key Takeaways * Emily went from being too shy to order pizza on the phone to speaking to audiences of 1000+ and writing a book on confidence. * Pushing yourself outside your comfort zone to practice confident behaviours can help build confidence over time. * Counting yourself in (3, 2, 1 go) can provide the momentum to push through discomfort and engage in activities that build confidence. * Celebrating others' successes rather than viewing them as competition is key for leaders to build confidence in their teams.
In this conversation Emily argues that leaders must acknowledge achievements and milestones to reinforce confident behaviours, not dismiss early wins by immediately increasing demands without praise. Public recognition strengthens employee motivation, resilience and performance.
Emily Jaenson is a professional speaker, podcast host of the Leadership is Female podcast, and author of 'Let's Go: A guide to increasing your confidence.'

Key Takeaways * AI can respond to sales leads and customer inquiries 24/7/365 for improved response times. * AI call centers can eliminate wait times and transfer customers seamlessly without human interaction. * AI can generate high volumes of written content like articles, but may lack personality or soul without proper prompting. * Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney are extremely valuable for automating workflows.

In this episode Judith Germain has an insightful discussion about leadership and change with Peter Donovan.
Key Takeaways * Change is now continuous and frequent rather than occasional "black swan" events. Leaders must view everything through this lens. * Business growth should be examined through the lens of change - iterative, innovative, and disruptive. * Leaders tend to excel at one type of change but need diverse teams to accomplish broader change. * Most companies are not ready for disruptive change initially. Small innovative changes prepare the groundwork. * AI and automation will displace some jobs, so individuals must continuously gain new skills and reinvent themselves.
In this conversation they discuss how iterative leaders accelerate performance through people and process. Innovative leaders launch new offerings. Disruptive leaders transform strategies. Each change type demands tailored leadership and team skills.
Peter Donovan is an executive search professional specialising in organisations seeking positive change and a new or sustained path to profitable growth.

In today's episode Judith Germain speaks to Dr Randy Ross about how to have a remarkable culture. They discuss how hope is a dynamic motivator tied to goal-setting that provides energy to pursue goals. Randy stresses that an organisation's values must attract the right people and repel the wrong people. Hires either crystallise or compromise the culture depending on their values' alignment with the organisation's.
Key Takeaways * Hope is essential for health and drives performance. Organisations that build hope and resilience in the workforce outperform low-hope counterparts by 15%. * A remarkable culture is one where people believe the best in one another, want the best for one another, and expect the best from one another. * Culture must be intentionally designed and constantly improved, or it will deteriorate by default. * Values alignment across the organisation is key - hire and fire by values to attract and repel the right talent.
In this conversation Judith outlines how individual, team and organisational leadership cultures ultimately shape the customer's reality. Resolving issues depends on the internal culture of accountability versus blame.
Dr Randy Ross is a compelling communicator, craftsman of culture and bestselling author of multiple books, including 'Remarkable!'. You can find out more about our guest and today's episode in this Maverick Paradox Magazine article here.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Jane Harrington, Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer of University of Greenwich about Maverick Leadership and how to be a Maverick Leader in Education.
Jane shares their background in academia, rising from researcher to senior leadership over 20 years. Judith asks about their non-linear career path, to which Jane attributes staying true to themself and gaining diverse experiences through openness to opportunities.
Key Takeaways * Being a Maverick Leader involves blending different leadership styles and values whilst remaining adaptive. It's about who you are and what you do. * Leaders should aim to create an environment of psychological safety and empowerment. * Diversity brings a wealth of perspectives and solutions. As a leader, being outside your comfort zone is healthy. * Coaching takes at least 12-18 months to create lasting behavioral change. Leaders should coach and sponsor their teams. * Reflecting on negative experiences can provide great learning. The 'why' can motivate you.
In this conversation they discuss how to overcome challenges and build confidence. They discuss how experience, not age or role, builds resilience and confidence through failures. Mentorship and sponsorship are key to helping others overcome lack of examples.
Professor Jane Harrington joined the University of Greenwich as Vice Chancellor & CEO in December 2019. She has worked in Higher Education for over 30 years and her specific interests include teaching excellence, widening access into higher education, inclusion and social mobility.

In this Short Talk episode John Mink joins Judith Germain to discuss forecasting challenges, sharing lessons from a career navigating supply chain complexities. John encourages curiosity, empathy and taking responsibility for one's cultural impact, believing small positive actions can help break cycles of blame and barrier-building between teams.
Key Takeaways * Culture is critical for accurate forecasting and good business outcomes. Blame culture leads to poor results. * Assumptions must be aligned before forecasting. Understand market conditions and business goals first. * Incentives should consider overall business health - revenue, costs, cash flow, customer service. Not just forecast accuracy. * Bias creeps in when forecast tied too closely to individual incentives. Need holistic view. * Methodical approach: agree on assumptions, align on goals, unbiased data inputs.
In this conversation John stresses aligning all forecasters on key assumptions like market conditions before inputting individual forecasts, to establish a shared baseline and prevent wasted arguing.

In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Eric Recker about strategies for optimal thinking. Eric defines "Win the now" as a presence mindset, focusing on current moments instead of past/future. He explains that segmenting days into wins, like patient interactions, to fully engage the present
Key Takeaways * Being in nature helps reset and ground us. * We've lost the ability to sit in quiet and let our brains rest. Constant stimulation affects how we think. * Gratitude and anxiety/worry cannot coexist. Focus on gratitude to push back anxiety. * Break life into "nows" and focus on winning each now without thinking about the past or future. * Time blocking helps productivity by removing distractions. * Focus on controlling what you can rather than worrying about uncontrollable change.
In this conversation, Eric stressed the prevalence and dangers of burnout. He offered a free email challenge to help recognise and reduce burnout signs. Judith agreed the hybrid work model risks reversing work-life balance gains.
Dr Eric Recker is a dentist, husband, father, keynote speaker, Elite Success Coach, author, pilot, mountain climber and recovering triathlete.

In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Jamie Shapiro about building trust through vulnerability and leadership challenges. Jamie emphasises the importance of building human connection and trust through leaders modeling vulnerability. Admitting mistakes and asking for help can create an environment where people feel safe sharing ideas without fear.
Key Takeaways * Leaders should role model vulnerability and go first in creating psychological safety. Can't ask employees to be vulnerable if leaders won't. * Intentional spaces for connecting on "how we work together" builds trust and psychological safety. * Leaders face paradoxes - be authentic but can't always fully express emotions. Need to care for themselves. * Toxic environments are incompatible with psychological safety. Employees should focus on boundaries and self-care. * Jamie's book "Be the Leader Who Shows Up Brightly Without Burning Out" offers practical tools on wellbeing and leadership.
In this conversation Jamie explains how leaders must sometimes display different emotions to inspire others, depleting their energy. Leaders don't always have permission to share feelings and must balance authenticity with managing emotions that influence others.
Jamie Shapiro is a CEO coach, organisational psychologist, and best selling author of Brilliant, Be the Leader Who Shines Brightly Without Burning Out.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Stu Heinecke about the entrepreneurial mindset and business growth strategies. Humour reveals truths in unexpected ways and starts conversations. Cartoons, coffee spills and waiting butterflies disarmingly urge responses playfully instead of demands. Creativity works where crowds fail by interrupting patterns.
Key Takeaways * Stu has an unusual background as both a marketer and a cartoonist. He uses cartoons in marketing campaigns to get higher response rates. * Stu coined the term "contact marketing" - using audacious means to get meetings with high value people. He wrote books on this topic. * Stu had an epiphany seeing a dandelion growing tenaciously from concrete. This inspired his "weed strategy" for business growth. * Weeds exhibit mindsets like persistence, resilience, aggression, urgency, and collaboration that businesses can emulate. * To have the right growth mindset, make the choice to take action. Seek people already successful and learn from them. * To get meetings with anyone: gain insight into their needs, challenges; humanise yourself; send creative communications. * Stu uses printed direct mail (like cartoons and objects) to stand out and get responses when people don't reply.
In this conversation Stu reminds us that we should engage targets with relevance and humanity. Know their challenges and interests to start useful discussions, not blind pitches. Stand out creatively to build curiosity and positive engagement when many seek meetings.
Stu Heinecke is Bestselling Author of How to grow your business like a weed and How to get a meeting with anyone.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to returning guest Dana Skaggs about imposter syndrome and strategies for overcoming it. Imposter syndrome is emotional not logical in nature. They look at Imposter Syndrome from a neuroscience perspective and as a maladaptive solution. A new perspective on an 'old' topic, they look at how Mavericks view Imposter Syndrome.
Key Takeaways * Imposter syndrome is an illogical thought pattern where people believe they are a fraud despite evidence of success. It is driven by emotion rather than logic. * Accepting feelings of doubt and insecurity as normal can help. Reframing thoughts and visualising confidence can counter imposter syndrome. * Having a mentor see your potential can provide a new perspective. Focus on your own journey rather than comparing yourself to others. * Identify and address the root causes of imposter syndrome, often stemming from childhood experiences or trauma. * Allow yourself to make mistakes and keep trying. Over time, small successes will build confidence.
In this conversation Judith shares the value of unpacking imposter syndrome's roots to face underlying fears, likening it to removing hidden obstacles. Dana emphasises small successes building confidence, accepting mistakes and persevering through challenges by refusing to quit or compare unfavourably to others.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Tim Windsor about what 'uncommodified' really means and that one of the biggest problems about society is that people can become commodified. Tim explains what the consequences are when we lose our uniqueness.
Judith explains what Maverick means and how they are developed, which leads to a conversation about the pain of being a commodity and the journey of unique expression. The choice of choosing to endure the pain of choosing to be different, not for the sake of making an impression, but for the sake of making a positive impact on the world around us is perhaps the first stage of how you go from being commodified to uncommodified, explaining the path to freedom. How do you resit the evil spell of sameness?
In this fascinating and engaging conversation Tim urges us to be the playwright of our own story and to understand the power of being continually perplexed. They discuss the mystery and magic of the unyet and the umet. Judith talks about avoiding the abstract and working with the reality.

She focuses on unlocking left brain and right brain thinking in humans allowing them to activate all parts of their brain and live whole, fulfilled, and impactful lives. Nishika shares the danger of educating children to believe in the binary nature of the human brain.

In this conversation Judith Germain speaks to Rob Ashton about written communication and how it affects our decisions. He researched the science of written communication and shares that his company has trained over 80,000 people since its inception. Rob explains that the science of written communication has taken him 6 years (so far) to research deeply as there are so many different branches of science that need to be considered.
Unusually Rob advises that we must stop thinking of the brain as a computer, as the brain assimilates data very differently and is amazingly complicated. To be able to write we need to rewire the brain to do this effectively. For example, our hearing is involved when we are reading! Rob talks about how we are compelled to think in stories.
Rob is a writer, and a former research scientist and editor. For the last six years, he's been on a quest to discover the science of how the words we read and write affect what we think and do.
Listen to this conversation and discover how to use written communication to engage others and how a lack of confidence leads to over writing. This is a fascinating conversation, full of real examples and insights, on how we use our brains. Learn how to free up your listener's brain power so they can take in what you are trying to communicate.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Aryeh Green about being a seeker of peace and the danger of living in your own bubble. Not everyone realises that they can have inner peace so do not seek it.
Good leaders have inner peace and know how to share that. That the ability to hold two opposing views in their head at the same time and still function is an essential skill. The way that people insist that the world is binary is a danger for public discourse. It reduces the ability to seek real and pragmatic solutions to the challenges we are facing.
Judith and Aryeh ponder whether the the problem with making ethical decisions is because more individuals are participating in binary thinking?
Listen to the rest of the conversation and the effects of the 'we' culture on the world around us and how we lead.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Patrick Ballin about high performing teams and team resilience. One of the issues companies face is that individuals feel that things are not settled and won't be for a very long time yet.
They discuss how leaders can tell whether the team is ok when they are not co-located and the intensity that communication across video (eg Zoom, Teams) causes.
Patrick advises that all team individuals have a responsibility to 'lean in' and recognise how others work, the need for transition time and whether those working from home with their children present can really take another meeting during the day.
The challenge organisations face is that work is getting done - the transactional but not the relational. There is an increasing number of individuals who are working their whole time with a loss of connection to their organisation and the people within it.
This is an interesting conversation about high performing teams and how to nurture them during these uncertain times.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Mark Bremner about the unusual way he runs his business. Mark advises that his company is in a state of flux - by design.
Mark builds his company around the ability of his employees, knows the strengths of his team and is prepared to change the way his business runs to suit the capability of the team. Additionally, MBKB has an unlimited holiday policy. They hire the person rather than the role - which is an example of maverick expression.
Mark has the ability to flex his business to ensure that his clients needs are met, by personalising the experience of their apprentices, when they join his Apprenticeship Programmes. This is unusual in his industry.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Alain Hunkins (this was recorded in June 2020) the author of Cracking the leadership code: Three secrets to building strong leaders.
They have a fascinating and interesting conversation on leadership and how to do it well. Alain explains that the three secrets to strong leaders are:
Connection, Communication and Collaboration
Only 23% of people think their leaders lead well - leadership is a relationship and people choose to follow their leaders. We need to learn that what we do or don't do as leaders matter.
One of the biggest leadership issues today is that 21st Century leaders are trying to lead others with the leadership mentality born out of the Industrial Age.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Stanley J Ward about how to identify cognitive distortion, and what to do about it.
Mavericks face particular dangers in regard to burnout and they need to guard against this. Socialised Mavericks often fight for others in such a way that it can often become a one way street and cause them to suffer intellectual burnout. The hero leader concept is not sustainable, and Stan explains how servant leadership is supposed to work.
Judith and Stan discuss the 3 dimensions of burnout and how low level depression can occur within Socialised Mavericks. When people disconnect from their mission this can cause cognitive distortion. Cognitive distortion can make it easy to become overwhelmed by all the pain in the world. There is a need to choose community over isolation. Their last discussion looks at the rise of toxic leaders.

Tyler believes in the daily email as a method of connecting with your prospects. The more contact you have with your list the more likely they will turn to you when you need something. Contact can include other things than an email - the goal is to connect as often as possible with things that are interesting and useful.
Tyler offers the listeners of The Maverick Paradox Podcast a special offer. He will critique your emails if you mention this podcast. This is a valuable service and worth visiting his website to contact him. Tyler's website is: https://www.copybymccune.com

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Julian Hayes II about the need to slow down to speed up - and why it's time to understand how epigenetics can make the difference.
Julian explains that your genetic code is like the hardware of a computer. The things that you input into your body and mind is the software. Finally epigenetics is the blueprint.
There are lots of possibilities just waiting for the right input to be activated. As humans, we decide what genes are switched on or off. Judith and Julian discuss whether leadership is determined by nature or nurture; and why entrepreneurs should care about epigenetics.

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Yonason Goldson about the price of our personal ethical choices. They also discussed why it's a fallacy that you have to choose between being good and being successful.
The danger of tribalism and identity politics was discussed and Yonason reminded us of Albus Dumbledore's words: It takes a lot of courage to stand up to our enemies but just us much to stand up to our friends. It's one thing to be a member of a community but its something else entirely to sacrifice one's identity and intellectual independence and integrity - that's the belief of Socialised Mavericks.
Ethics is a struggle, one right versus another right or one wrong versus another wrong. Being ethical doesn't mean making the right choices each time, its grappling with ethical dilemma each time. The more we grapple with your moral compass, the more you strengthen your ethical muscles.
A culture of ethics in business ensures more loyal customers.
