A truly unique episode today as we managed to snaffle the incredible Dean Pendergast whilst he was on a flying visit from New Zealand!Dean is an absolute innovator throughout his career and currently heads up the EnrolMy - the market leader in making bookings within the childcare industry simple and effective.
It's a great episode where:- He talks about how leaders are both born AND made- The importance of being open minded - even at a senior level we may not always be right - How luck can give you the opportunity to get a good head start, but only you can make sure you get ahead. - How a starting point in life does not dictate where your career goes- Books - You’ll want to hear these recommendations! - CV tips and importance of honesty. - Plus a GREAT final ONE thing.Lawrence’s 3 things:“1. When Dean spoke about how to be a great leader he talks about the amount of literature out there that help with this. He talks about people being naturally gifted when it comes to leadership – but its through continuous hardwork and learning that you truly become a top class leader – it is both nature and nurture.
-
He talks about how he had a great start in life and how he was lucky with his upbringing however the onus is on him to develop and make sure he fulfils potential – it’s the opposite of the world owes me something mentality, it’s we owe the world something and its up to us to work towards it.
-
One thing to takeaway is to be open in your views and not afraid to accept that you are wrong – he needed to foster a team dynamic where any one can contribute but also where they feel comfortable disagreeing with senior management and that is what has pushed their business on.“We hope you love this episode and if you have any favourite parts or if anything resonates with you we would love to hear from you.

We know we say this a lot but what an episode this is and so happy to have Mike Clare on the podcast. Mike is the CEO of Junior Adventures Group UK and is someone we work with in a partnership relationship with our Love Care Recruitment business.Mike begins with some history of his background at Tesco, starting aged 15 and progressing through to leading parts of the entire operation before his current role. Advice, guidance, stories and tips shine through every time Mike has the mic.He covers so many of these areas, but to cover just a few:- We had a great discussion around mentorship, both in early career times and as we all progress and evolve over time.- How he has learned from the bumps in the road in a career.- Stealing and copying with pride from great people through his career. We love how Mike brought this alive for us.- We explore not only where bad times or experiences slowed us down, we also explored where he had certain ‘accelerators’ in his career. Is the key to this ‘lightening up’ and being thankful?- Power of sideways and backward steps - Power or partnerships and meaningful relationships. How vital trust, openness and vulnerability is to the success of relationships like this. - Advice for people in their careers - some real golden nuggets in there - advice from someone who started at 15 and progressed how he has.- Businesses needing to create the environment for better recruitment and placing high value on the narrative and great communication through the process.Lawrence’s 3 things….1. Mike’s leadership perspective in current times - being largely a facilitator, creating teams that are best as a team not as individuals. 2. Career accelerator - great discussion! Is it about being thankful? Is it about lightening up?3.
