Stuart Waddington
Leadership - What's on your mind? has been set up to tell stories to help YOU supercharge your Leadership Journey. Hosted by Stuart Waddington
In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, we speak to Sarah Furness.
After graduating from Cambridge University, Sarah followed her dream to become a combat helicopter pilot in the RAF. As a Squadron Leader she led on operational combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and she was the first female helicopter pilot to fly and lead UK Special Forces missions in Iraq. During her experiences both at home and at war, she made two important discoveries;
-
resilience and performance under pressure is NOT instinctive
-
BUT humans have an extraordinary ability to thrive and even excel under pressure when they know how.
She now has ONE mission. To share the secret to outstanding resilience, performance and courage “under fire”.
Sarah is the No1 Best Selling author of FLY HIGHER - train your mind to feel as strong as you look. All of her mental training techniques are backed by science and proven in combat. She is fluent in “alpha male” and whilst she takes her work seriously, she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She has an 8 year old son who she adores and who inspires her every day.

On this week's episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Paul Minter.
Born and brought up in East London.
Paul Joined the Army, The Household Cavalry Regiment at 16. Served for 18 years. Got to the rank of Staff Sargent. Served with both Princes William and Harry. Joined a specialised unit called The Brigade Reconnaissance Regiment. Completed 5 front line tours, one in Iraq and four in Afghanistan. I have been blown up twice, once by Rocket Propelled Grenades in an ambush where less than half (3) of us survived by fighting our way out and another time by an Improvised Explosive Device. I have been awarded a bravery award for my actions in Afghanistan (Mention in Dispatchers). I suffered very badly with paranoia, anxiety and depression (PTSD) after my 4th tour. A few years later it eventually caught up with me and was forced to seek help. After realising it was not the right help for me and loosing several friends to suicide, I took myself away and learnt multiple holistic methods I could implement in my day to day life to improve my mental wellbeing. I then started helping dozens more, with great success. Eventually I left the Army in Nov 2020, to set up a charity to help more on grander scale. Along with three other veterans we set up Head Up Charity and are in a two year fundraising and brand awareness phase to create a 7-day residential retreat where anyone in the Armed Forces and veterans can go to learn multiple methods to improve their Mental Health.

As part of letting people know who we are we are all doing big challenges and I recently finished mine. 5,000 mile record breaking run around the coastlines of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. I done this running 6 days a week for 7 months. Staying with different people every day, carrying a 10kg bag with all my stuff in and averaging 30 miles a day. Over 700 people ran with me, and thousands supported me in some way. I achieved dozens of national media platform attention and I have won awards including the Pride of Britain award, increasing the attention of our cause.

On this week's episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Mark Stanton.
Mark is an authentic, open and engaging leadership coach and mentor. His aim is to help strengthen, support and enhance the potential of everyone he works with. As a former police officer who served for three decades with both West Midlands and Merseyside Police, achieving the rank of Chief Superintendent, he understands the challenges and impact that senior leadership can have in operational, business and personal terms.
Mark’s ethos is that true leadership starts with yourself, but to get to know who you actually are can be a voyage of exploration, challenge and sometimes an emotional roller coaster. As head of department for over 500 people he oversaw transformational change programmes saving £millions whilst ensuring that the people elements of change were front and centre of all he did – whether this was his own team or wider stakeholder groups. Having operated at the heart of complex and challenging operational environments including armed policing and riot situations Mark knows how to challenge and be challenged on his own views. He is known for applying critical thinking and positively disrupting the way things are done.

On this week's episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Kerryn Price.
"Hi, my name is Kerryn Price, I currently work in the charity sector as an Internal Auditor & Risk Manager. Prior to this role I worked in the NHS for 14 years in various roles within Clinical Governance and Lloyds Banking Group before this for 7 years. My leadership journey started when I was working for Lloyds Banking Group, however I didn’t appreciate this at the time; mainly because ‘leadership’ wasn’t known in the same way as is it now and the learning was not there in the same way. I have grown so much in recent years whilst working for the NHS and have felt my leadership journey go from strength to strength particularly since graduating from Lancaster University in December 2021 having completed a Msc in Senior Leadership. I am very grateful for the experiences I have had (good and bad!) and look forward to continuing to learn and grow as I progress through my career."

On today's episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Jim Wheat.
Wheat was educated in Chester & Wrexham, where he studied Civil Engineering before pursuing a Master’s Degree in California. Moving to Dubai in 2002, Wheat was influenced by the rich culture and heritage of the Emirates combined with the energy of money in the contemporary atmosphere funding the growth of Dubai in the early 2000s. He boldly explored both sides of the coin within the commercial world of Brand, Sponsorship and Art from Construction workers labour camps to the Golf and leisure facilities in the Middle East after a particularly testing time in 2009. Now thriving on collaborating with and helping develop a rich variety of authentic brands, charitable causes andcommunities Wheat’s creation and development of his unique model of Engage : Create : Facilitate in a systematic yet free-flowing approach that he has lived and breathed for over a decade. His shift of focus came following an unexpected lightbulb moment during his community engagement programme at H.M.P Berwyn, Wrexham where he realised the value of self-worth applies to others aswell as himself. This epiphany from ‘ME’ to ‘WE’ has enabled him to harness his talents and share with others the skills he has learned throughout his career. Wheat now primarily focuses on developing not only his own legacy through his body of work but with brand partnersthrough creative workshops with groups, sports associations, corporate enterprises and communities helping Stakeholders form, clarify and ultimately achieve their commercial goals. This is then often interpreted in a unique contemporary way whilst ensuring a duty of care within wider reaching inclusive communities. With this solid platform in place more meaningful, measured and relevant Marketing campaigns with high impact content creation and engagement programs following on. The Metaverse arrived at the perfect time – it’s time to humanize that magical space as old Artworks are now brought to life as physical serves digital and vice-versa.

In this week's episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Mark Hunter.
Mark Hunter is a triple Olympian who has had three different experiences, the good-winning gold, the ugly winning silver, and the bad - coming last!
He is a warm, honest and articulate speaker who brings a story of success and, more importantly, an awareness of what it takes to achieve. Sacrifice, failure, hard work, determination, and a brutal diet contribute to Mark’s remarkable story.
He offers his account of his career and achievements with humor that contrasts sharply with his vivid recollections of the moments when he wondered if he could, or should, continue chasing his dream.
What kept him going? Who helped along the way, and how? What made him continue to train, and how did he maintain focus through numerous setbacks? How did it feel to experience the sweet taste of success finally?
Mark is able to use his experiences and learning to answer these questions, and many more, with ease and charm, helping audiences learn from his experiences and take inspiration from them.
Key themes – teamwork, leadership, dealing with setbacks, goal setting.

On this weeks episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Ian Rose.
Through workshops, presentations and coaching, Ian helps individuals & teams to build and stay resilient. In this changing world building both individual and company resilience is key and helping to develop coping strategies is where Ian shines.
Born in 1972, Ian contracted eye cancer (retinablastoma) as a baby, losing his left eye and most of the sight in his right. Following many operations, Ian was left with an indent on the right side of his face. He also had to wear some pretty thick glasses to help his vision.
By the age of 7, Ian’s parents realised that he needed help to improve his self-esteem as he was coming home from school in tears some afternoons from being teased about the way he looked. Little did they know how much their next step for him would impact his life.
Deciding to introduce Ian to the sport of Judo, his parents took him to Micklefield Judo Club. The two coaches there – Ron Cleere and John Oke – warmly accepted him into the club and treated him exactly the same as all the other members, with no special treatment because of his eyes.
From then on, Judo became a big part of Ian’s life. Within three months the teasing he received about his looks stopped, because he now had a new confidence and was able to just ignore it. Ian was not a natural at Judo, taking two years to win his first medal, but he worked very hard in training and had a passion for success. Over time Ian continued to improve, receiving his first International selection in 1989 whilst still in his last year of secondary school.
Competing in the European Visually Impaired Championships was a dream come true, and the beginning of an international sporting career that would see him travel the world, winning two Paralympic medals, as well as medals in the World Championships and the European Championships.
Competing in five Paralympic Games, Ian was on course to represent ParalympicsGB at his sixth Games in London. But then he sustained an injury during training, so he called it a day, ending an International career spanning 22 years at the top. This was in 2011; since then he has concentrated on the next chapter in his life – helping others to find the best in themselves and progress to success.
Ian couldn’t have achieved any of this without the forward thinking of his parents, his coaches, and the support of his wife, Debbie, and their two kids, Leah and Jordyn.

On this weeks episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I spoke to Fran Hogan.
Off grid Channel 4 ‘The Simpler Life’ contributor and Engaging Project Manager
Having worked in a corporate software implementation environment for over a decade, a fast faced environment with 24/7 multiple methods of communication centred around technology, Fran was mindful of the impact on her physical and mental health.
‘Busy being busy’ habits and the need to succeed both personally and professionally were evaluated over a course of 4.5 months ‘off grid’ living without technology, electricity and distractions from the outside world.
Focus on community and ‘a simpler life’ under the review of psychologists whilst maintaining a 40 acre farm alongside other volunteers and joined by an Amish family from Ohio replaced the fast paced treadmill of the zoom call, Teams chat, busy inbox world Fran had become accustomed too.
From podding peas to joining our podcast, we hear about Fran’s view on Leadership and whether her leadership experiences and learnings helped her both before and after her stripped back Summer.

On this weeks episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Khalida Popal.
Khalida Popal began breaking down barriers and empowering women in Afghanistan in 2007 when she helped found the Afghan National Women’s Soccer Team. She served as the team captain, and she later became the first woman ever hired by the Afghanistan Football Federation. When it became clear that she was no longer safe in the country, she went into exile and has continued her advocacy for the rights of women and girls by establishing the Denmark-based Girl Power Organisation. Girl Power encourages women’s empowerment through sport, particularly for refugee and migrant girls. Ms Popal has become an outspoken and deeply respected advocate for women’s rights in Afghanistan and beyond. A former defender on the soccer field, she is now a defender and champion of human rights around the globe. Amid the recent fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, she worked tirelessly to help dozens of female senior and youth soccer players from the senior & junior national teams escape and relocate. She has continued to support these girls and their families as they transition to their new countries of residence.

On this week's episode of #Leadership - What's on your mind? I speak to Jim Rees, Executive Coach | Motivational Speaker | Author | Ultra-Cyclist.
Jim is interested in what’s possible. Having flown around the world competing in some of the toughest races on the planet, Jim has a very clear idea of what is possible. Drawing from his personal, sporting and professional career, Jim has seen and experienced perceived impossibilities turn into reality. From this, he absolutely knows that the majority of us are barely scratching the surface of our potential, whether that’s on the tennis court or in the boardroom. On a one-to-one level, Jim has an uncanny way of getting to the core of who you are. With your permission, he works with you to uncover those beliefs that may well be preventing you from achieving your absolute max in ALL that you do. His sessions are deep and challenging – this reflects his philosophy that “everyone is built for greatness”. He combines this with being a parent of 4 children and his sporting career, he has competed in numerous Ironman Triathlons around the world and more recently has competed in The Race Across America (a 3000-mile cycle race), for the 3rd consecutive year. Jim is the only British rider to finish 3 consecutive solo races going faster each year! (2007, 2008 & 2009) Over the past 20 years, Jim has focused on maximising potential at an individual, team and organisational level, working with a number of FTSE top 500 companies across the world.

Susanna started her career as a psychology graduate from the University of Manchester, and went on to work with adults with learning difficulties. Susanna then had to complete a NVQ in care to prove her practical competencies – and her involvement in vocational training began.
After completing her NVQ levels 2 and 3, she soon moved up the ranks, and was appointed the National Contract Manager for an independent training provider, responsible for over 1,000 apprentices across the UK. Throughout her journey she witnessed huge inefficiencies at every stage of the sector, and decided with her partner to build a solution: OneFile.
OneFile has developed from an idea into the leading eportfolio software in the education sector. OneFile has grown from a 2 person, back bedroom start up to over 80 staff and with over 1.3m users from the States to the Middle East.
Susanna is an ambassador for the international vocational training community, delivering presentations at the Transatlantic Apprenticeship Exchange Forum and the American Association of Colleges’ national conference. After graduating from the prestigious Goldman Sachs 10ksb undergraduate and ambassador business programme she was asked to be mentor on the Santander Breakthrough in Business programme, mentoring other SMEs on the challenges they were facing.
Amongst many other awards, Onefile was awarded the Queens Award for Innovation in 2017 and won CIPD People Management Initiative in 2019. Susanna personally has won Forward Ladies/HSBC Business Woman of the Year and EVAs/Natwest Outstanding Achievement. OneFile is also in The Times Top 100 companies to work for in 2021

Peter is a family man, a senior Royal Air Force officer, an avid mountaineer and a charity trustee. He has over 22 years of professional experience in roles that have included team, project and programme management and leadership; operational and strategic planning and policy shaping; and international engagement and capacity building. His career has taken him all over the world in support of military and counter terrorist operations and he is currently seconded to the Department for International Trade as a Military Adviser.
In parallel to his military career, Peter has spent over 25 years pursuing his passion for mountaineering. From the humble beginnings of ‘learning the ropes’ as a mountain rescue volunteer, he has led several overseas expeditions, with his most recent adventure being an expedition to a remote corner of Nepal to celebrate the Royal Air Force Centenary in 2018, during which a British first ascent of Mount Langdung at 6357 metres was achieved.
Perpetually curious and optimistic, and hungry to enhance the performance of teams, systems and himself, Peter is quick to acknowledge that he hasn’t always got it right, although each occasion has provided an additional opportunity to refine his thinking and approach. Undeterred, Peter continues to challenge the status quo in the pursuit of positive change and enhanced performance.

Celebrating 1 Year to the day since I started this Podcast
Peter is passionate about helping individuals, teams and businesses realise their full potential. His leadership of complex, high technology military aircraft programmes in worldwide markets has given him a unique insight into the needs of global companies and their employees. His extensive knowledge of multiple cultures, customer sensitivities and shareholder expectations complements a strong practical engineering background. This has resulted in his appointment to a number of high profile executive and non executive board positions with large, medium and small companies – ranging from start-ups to established FTSE 100 PLCs.
Aside from proudly supporting his family, which has been a key priority for him throughout his career, his greatest achievements have been to maintain a healthy work/life balance, sustain long term personal relationships and to be recognised by colleagues as someone who consistently demonstrates strong ethical core values. In addition, he is able to conduct himself with gravitas when required yet still be informal and approachable to team members and peers looking for advice and support.
Peter regards himself as very fortunate in being able to combine his engineering skills and competitive nature in his primary hobby – the restoration and racing of historic cars. More recently, as he developed his portfolio career, he has also overseen the renovation of a listed farmhouse and cottage in the Yorkshire Dales National Park which has proved hugely rewarding but very demanding in equal measures…
Looking to the future, Peter’s ambition is to continue to utilise his extensive business experience to help develop the next generation of senior leaders and innovative companies. He has a particular affinity for contributing to the economic prosperity of the North West of England where he has lived for over forty years but also retains a passion for successful international business development.

I was super excited when Jesse and Molly agreed to be the first couple on the podcast, this conversation really shows my passion to diversify the conversation about leadership and the opportunities to transfer learning from different situations and stories.
Jesse and Molly recently appeared in a documentary called ‘Climbing Blind’ which was aired on the BBC (check it out on iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000jb7t/climbing-blind). A tenacious and resilient couple pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of rock climbing. A fascinating story of dedication, trust and shear determination to achieve the seemingly impossible.
Jesse epitomises achievement and bravery in the face of adversity. Born severely sight impaired and now blind he was advised as a child he may never be able to read or write. However, through his attitude, determination and ingenuity he has become an elite rock climber. Best known as the first blind person to lead climb the Old Man of Hoy, which is the focus of Alastair Lee’s multi award winning documentary ‘Climbing Blind’, for conquering previously unclimbed peaks in Arctic Greenland and as a world class competition climber. He has also excelled in the academic and corporate spheres. He holds a doctorate in Materials Chemistry, is passionate about the environment and clean energy and holds a senior role in a global hydrogen fuel cell company enabling decarbonisation throughout society.
Molly is the other half of this powerful climbing duo. She is a strong, experienced climber herself who takes on the extra responsibility of acting as Jesse's sight-guide and surrogate eyes. Unphased by the extreme nature and obvious danger of some of the locations the couple climb in, Molly is an un-flappable voice in Jesse's ear as he climbs, delivering crucial guidance interspersed with brutally deadpan humour. Molly’s engineering background shows itself in her innate problem-solving ability and creative thinking required to guide, coupled with the logistical prowess of a project manager she is a key force in the couples many adventures. Named 2017 Explorer of the Year by the Scientific Exploration Society Molly often seeks to avoid the limelight, preferring not to draw attention to her cool adroit capability.
Details of Jesse’s public speaking can be found on his website (https://jessedufton.com/) and on his profile with The Speakers Agency (https://thespeakersagency.com/speaker/jesse-dufton/).

THIS WEEK = MY DAD
My Dad is now enjoying retirement from a long career with some of the big name companies in the UK construction Industry. From a drawing office apprenticeship in structural steelwork fabrication, he moved on to specialise in the "Building Envelope", designing roofing, cladding and glazing installations for a wide variety of industrial and commercial projects. He was also involved with product testing and development as well as the integration of imported construction products into the UK market.
In this Podcast I invite him to go down memory lane, recalling his own career and leadership experiences and his thoughts on management styles he has encountered over the years.

What a privilege to sit down with Dan Purvis, have a chat about leadership and how he has had to learn to deal with pressure.
As you will know by now, I have a real passion for changing it up and having diverse conversations about leadership, this is a perfect example of this concept.
I asked Dan to introduce himself -
Hi I’m Daniel Purvis, I’m an ex Gb and Scottish male gymnast. I started the sport when I was 7 years old and I loved my first session that much and found my passion for sport that I continued going and looking forward to each session. Age 10 I got selected for the Team GB squad and age 13 competed in my first international in Germany. My highlights of my carrier are -
4xBritish champion
7x European medalist
5xCommonwealth games medalist
2xWorld championship medalist
1xOlympic medalist
I retired at 28 and since then I have been coaching gymnastics. I started my own recreational gymnastics club in 2016. I also coach at Southport gymnastics club where I trained all my life at and I also work with the GB development squad boys. Very fortunate to be able to coach at the sport I love in all sorts of different levels and hopefully help the gymnasts I coach to reach there potential.

It's been my pleasure to get to know Jane over the last 18 months and it was a must to invite her onto the podcast. As you can tell from her bio below, she has so much experience and it was great for her to share her perspectives on leadership.
After a 15 year career in media and entertainment, which involved developing and running multi-million advertising and events accounts for leading brands such as Europcar, British Airways, Coca-Cola and Saab, Jane joined a struggling London design agency as MD and shareholder.
Over the course of the following three years, she built the business up from insolvency into a globally acclaimed, multi award winning brand identity business specialising in television corporate identity.
Clients included ITV, Discovery Networks, global German news channel Deutsche Welle, RAI (Italy) and various other leading commercial as well state owned TV companies across Europe and the US.
As a result of this strategic focus, turnover escalated from £1-6M in a single year, which triggered a sale to US communications group Interpublic and enabled Jane to exit from the business with a payout that enabled her to focus on raising her 3 young children and starting a new business from home.
For several years, Jane ran a successful children's education business, which she combined with a significant residential development project on a listed building in Amersham, Bucks. She also began sourcing land for developers and introduced equity funds - both her own and other investors - into other development projects, building expertise in an area she is still active in today.
During this period Jane was diagnosed with serious breast cancer, and endured chemotherapy, radiotherapy and multiple operations which caused her to re-assess and re-evaluate many aspects of her life and work.
She founded her current business The Smart Connector after some painful personal challenges, including her husband having an affair and running away overnight, and a prolonged and loss making experience with some unethical business partners in property. This taught her that in business as well as life people must always come before profit, and this also inspired her best selling book 'The Smart Connector'.
Today Jane helps other entrepreneurs to scale their businesses fast, and attract their ideal clients. As an expert marketer who consults and advises in this area, she focuses on leadership marketing, through her flagship programme, Ideal Client Success: https://idealclientsuccess.com/masterclass

What an amazing conversation this week with Ben Thexton, it was a pleasure to host him and find out more about his unexpected journey. I was expecting to hear about his self leadership but it was great hear how his experiences have molded his now leadership style in business.
Ben owns an accountancy practice which specialises in Construction and Property. Ben was involved in a road traffic accident in 2012, which resulted in him being placed in a coma. He suffered with mental health issues and PTSD for a number of years before reaching out for help. He now advocates the importance of good mental health. Leading a business does not just involve the delegation of tasks, but to empower your team to be open and honest, to be happy and enjoy their work, ultimately helping them to grow both professionally and in their overall wellbeing.

Following international women's day on Monday It was an absolute pleasure to host this amazing lady on the Podcast.
A story of grief, grit and resilience, glamour and giving. Honoured with an MBE in October 2020 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Often referred to as the lady with the sax, Julie is an inspirational, musical and a high-energy keynote speaker who enters the stage playing the saxophone and takes the audience on an adventure through three challenging decades.
Talking openly about the loss of her first daughter Emily, who died of a brain tumour at the age of 3 Julie enthuses about how giving and raising money helped her journey of grief. She became a crazy, fun and much loved House Mistress at Dean Close School in Cheltenham teaching, living with and caring for over 60 young girls. She showed them how to give to help others, with not just money but with time, energy and humility. Her mantra of “Give to charity, Give your time, Give yourself” was one that she lived by everyday and encouraged others to do the same.
She talks about how she became one of the most driven and prolific third sector leaders of our time, having a ward in Gloucestershire and Bristol Children’s Hospitals named after Emily her daughter, raising unheard of sums of money for charities, becoming Chairman of Cheltenham Open Door, Vice Chairman of The Pied Piper Appeal, Ambassador and Trustee for Goals beyond Grass. In 2018 she was named as one of the 50 Greatest Women in Gloucestershire followed by being named in the Top 100 Women in West and was then awarded the Most Outstanding Woman in the Charitable Sector in the West.
In 2020, during the COVID pandemic, Julie Kent was awarded an MBE for Charitable Services rendered on Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II birthday honours list.

When I was in the RAF delivering leadership training, I was surrounded by amazing likeminded trainers in a great environment set up to encourage learning and development.
Then I decided to leave but my number one priority was to continue my learning journey, I remember signing up to Audible which allowed my to listen and learn on the move.
The first 'LEADERSHIP' book I listen to was recommended to me and was authored by my guest today David Marquet. I loved the story telling flow of the book and it Isn't your typical models and principles leadership book.
David was on my 2021 dream guest list so it was an honour when he agreed to join me on the podcast, i hope you enjoy listening just as much as I enjoyed hosting.
DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT and let me know your take away from this episode
Here's a bit more about David Marquet

Talk about dream guests, this week I had a pleasure of sitting down with Joe Foster the founder of the global sports brand REEBOK. After hearing Joe had launched his book SHOE MAKER in Oct 2020 I got in touch and then it didn't take me long to listen via Audible.
I had to break my 20minute rule because as Joe started to talk, his story is captivating and I didn't want to limit the time he had to share his story plus thoughts about leadership.
Here's a bit more about Joe Foster
Joseph William Foster (Joe Foster) was born in 1935 in Bolton England with the same birthday 18th May, as his grandfather, also Joseph William Foster who had died 18 months earlier. Joe’s grandfather was the founder of J W Foster & Sons (Athletic Shoes) Ltd and the inventor of the Spiked Running Shoe and the Trainer (Sneaker).
Joe and his late brother Jeff were born into the J W Foster & family business, but on their return after 2 years away from home on National Service, they asked questions. The year was 1955 and the brothers saw a business still rooted in the 1930’s.
Their Father and Uncle were now operating the business and very much like another Sports Shoe company, spent more time feuding than collaborating. The result was that in 1958 Joe and Jeff left the Foster business to set up a new Sports Shoe company.
The brothers founded Mercury Sports Footwear, which after 18 months they changed its name to REEBOK. Joe had been advised to protect their company’s name by registering it.
By 1965, Joe was on his way to the NSGA (National Sporting Goods of America) Show in Chicago, which was the start of many Global adventures and experiences that after 15 years brought him together with Paul Fireman and later many Stars of film and television.
As the surviving Founder of Reebok, Joe still welcomes the opportunity to travel and recount those early stories from start-up to becoming World No. 1. Joe has written a book documenting the history and his journey.

I love the link between sport at any level and the transferable skills we can use in the business world, so I was super excited to speak to this weeks guest. It was a pleasure to sit down with Greg Bateman to discuss 2020 and the launch of 'The Peoples Captain'.

What a great way to finish 2020 with an amazing guest, R. Michael Anderson, MBA, MA has a striking combination that creates truly impactful transformation in leaders – he has the real-life business success of founding, scaling and exiting three software companies, plus the educational background of a Masters Degree in Psychology.
This combination gives him the unique ability to connect to other leaders as a peer, then teaches evidence-based leadership skills that genuinely drive behaviour and performance.
It’s the reason that Stanford University brings him into work with their start-up ecosystem, PwC has him work with their high growth CEO’s, and companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Uber bring him to level up their managers and executives.
Michael shares how his Californian companies landed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing US companies, created a culture so strong that they won the #1 Best Place to work, and Michael himself was honoured as the Social Entrepreneur of the year. In 2005 he held the office of President of the Board of Directors for a chapter of Conscious Capitalism, an international organization dedicated to elevating humanity through business.
A gifted storyteller who shares his failures as much as his successes, the terms “vulnerable”, “authentic”, and “powerful” are often used to describe his presentations.
With his background in psychology and neuroscience, he transforms managers into true leaders with high-performing teams in high-growth companies. He’s written two best-selling business leadership books, contributes to Entrepreneur.com, and is a former radio-show host.
A former professional basketball player, the 6’8” Michael is hard to miss.

I was so excited to welcome Rory Underwood onto the podcast this week.
Our conversation is going to add so much value to your leadership journey.
Rory is probably best known for his international rugby career. Not only for scoring a record 49 tries for England (85 caps, 1984-1996) but also for winning 7 caps for the British Lions touring Australia (1989) and New Zealand (1993). Rory played first class rugby at Leicester Tigers for an unbelievable 14 years and was awarded the MBE in 1992 for his services to rugby. Rory joined the Board of Leicester Tigers as a non-executive Director in Nov 2007.
Throughout this record-breaking rugby career Rory amassed 3000hrs flying as a pilot in his 18 years in the Royal Air Force. During his RAF career he flew the Jet Provost TMk5A, Hawk TMk1A, Tornado GR1, Canberra T17 and the Dominie. He was responsible for introducing Crew Resources Management (CRM) training into the RAF, thereby developing a culture where personnel look at how teamwork and decision making is effected in time limited stressful situations.
Rory has a specific interest and expertise in the areas of effective communication and high performance leadership within teams. His experience and insight gained through his stellar rugby and RAF career has allowed him to bring a different perspective into the performance of business teams. He is an experienced facilitator, psychometric profiler and performance coach.
Rory incorporates his inspirational experiences with practical performance activities creating an environment for delegates to explore and challenge their view of teams and how they can make an impact within the business. He will explore and challenge the delegates about their understanding of teams, high performance and how to measure it.
Rory uses his experiences from his time within high performance organisations and teams that are able to bring a different perspective than the normal ‘team building’ workshop. He explores the relationship between values and motivation that is bound together by trust to enable you to create and sustain a high performance team ethos within the organisation.
Rory combines the wealth of experience from international sport, the military, extreme human achievement and the tried and tested formula of personal and team development to create processes for individuals, teams and organisations to inspire performance.

I had the pleasure of hosting Steve Burns on this week’s podcast and I hope you enjoy hearing about his experiences and perspectives on leadership.
Steve Burns MC started life of growing up on a council estate in Newcastle. He had a fairly normal childhood, although behind the smile was a very insecure child.
At the age of 16 Steve passed out of Royal Marines basic training. He did so with the honour of being awarded the commando medal for being the recruit that displayed the commando spirit the most. Commando Spirit is Courage, Unselfishness, determination and cheerfulness in the face of adversity. He displayed all of this whilst completing the commando phase of training with a broken foot!
This was the trajectory that would continue, Steve would deploy on various Operational tours which escalated post 9/11.
At the age of 23 Steve passed selection for the SBS, soon after passing he would deploy straight on Counter Terrorist Operations and this would be his way of life for a number of years.
At the age of 27 Steve was awarded the Military Cross, awarded and presented by HM the Queen.
Soon after this it would be Steve personal life which would become his battle field. It was here that Steve learnt who he really was outside of a uniform and he would tackle his childhood insecurities head on. The years to follow would be his toughest but also the where the most growth was had.
Fast forward to the present day and Steve has used all of his learning and his story to inspire young adults through his Wioh (World in our hands) app, Limitless programme and his Op Spartan veteran support initiative which has gained over 9000 members in only a short period of time.
Steve’s mission is to uplift, inspire and support by example, by leading the way and showing people their true potential.

David’s story is about his motivation and drive to succeed as an entrepreneur and business owner BUT it didn’t go to plan…… In the current climate I feel this is a subject that should be shared, please feel free to reach out and connect with either myself or David to start a conversation.

I had the pleasure of hosting Heidi Maduhu who is a born for Entrepreneurship: Like my mother, and my mother's mother before me. It all started with Abuelita Pascuala planting one seed in Callao's impoverished soil and praying it would sprout.
Little did she have any idea of what those initial seeds would one day grow - physically, as in harvest after harvest of roquito peppers, of which she rapidly became the entire district's provider, but inspired by her entrepreneurial spirit, her youngest child (my mother) immigrated to the USA from Peru at the tender age of 16 in search of the American Dream.
By the sweat of her brow and willingness to trek uphill through hardship, that single mother then worked three jobs and completed her degree as a Registered Nurse. She later owned a mail center, then a home health business, and now has amassed financial freedom by way of a vast (and ever growing!) property investment portfolio.
I stand on the shoulders of many giants, but these matriarchs in particular just as surely as their gritty blood runs through my veins.
I am strong and tenacious just like those women before me, overflowing with driving enthusiasm, and I live out to the fullest a purposeful intentionality powered by an immovable 'people-first' and 'adding value' foundation.
Strengths, Leadership and Entrepreneurship Coaching and Mentoring is my specialty (believing each has the propensity to build on the next like a staircase).
I'm also a Corporate Trainer utilising the power of DiSC methodology, storytelling, and the Maxwell Leadership Game to achieve lasting team transformation and heightened morale.
In addition, I'm available worldwide for speaking engagements as a Motivational Teacher. Public Speaking is one thing but if folks remain unchanged afterwards then we've missed the point.
Freedom Entrepreneurship starts with a single carefully planted seed. With the right climate, nutrients and soil, there are no limits to the explosive growth into freedom we can achieve - let's cultivate together! #growFREED

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to Tony Preston, he is now a coach who helps trade businesses, sole traders and small service businesses hit bigger numbers and be more effective.
However he also has an amazing story and it’s a privilege to bring his story to you.
WHO IS TONY PRESTON:
I am 56 years young, I left school before taking any GCE as I was certain I did not need them.
At 17 my life was turned upside down after hitting a a lamp post at 60 mph on a motorbike. The accident put me in to intensive care. I emerged again partially paralysed and could only walk with the aid of steel caliper.
I have had one job (apprentice).
I started my first business age 19 and have been in business for 36 years.
At 21 I had reconstructive surgery to fix the stuff that didn't work. (Thank you NHS)
I have one fantastic wife of 35 years.
I have traded in and traded out of more recessions than you could shake a stick at.
No I have never lost everything! That must be terrible but I started from the bottom with nothing other than a £10 note and a one way National Express ticket.
This is my condensed story,
I was in care as a young child and as a young adult started my life on the streets homeless, I found my way to the YMCA age 15. I started my own business with a bag of paint brushes a couple of trowels and a spirit level.
I know what it's like to have nothing.
I come from nothing but was determined to become something so I adopted a positive attitude and decided to climb upward. I decided a very long time ago that I would be successful.
I purchased my first property in London age 20.I now own a £1M portfolio of quality real estate.
Better read my book for the blood, snot and tears.
If your looking for someone to tell you how to make mistakes and lose everything I am not your man.
