Megan has a long history of working at the cutting edge of leadership development and marks a departure from the usual guest on this podcast. She is a deep thinker and researcher around how leaders need to behave in what she calls a ‘pathologically busy’ workplace. This interview explores how our society has an over focus on the short-term, the to do list which leads to rampant busyness. This is not the role of a leader who needs to be able to step back and have perspective. Megan shares how reflective practices and wise attention will help us become the leaders we want to be. A powerful episode with lots of evidence. You will take away: • An exploration of the tightrope leaders walk with being strong vs being vulnerable • How psychologically safety is built – speaking up and listening up • The moral case for having a positive impact as a leader • Examples and discipline and practices in carving out the right kind of attention so we have a chance to lead effectively Links and info Megan Reitz is a Professor Leadership and Dialogue at Hult Ashridge Business School, she is an Associate Fellow at Said Business School at Oxford University.

Marina brings an infectious level of vibrancy and dynamism with a successful background in television. But this is a world she stepped out of because she wanted to work in an environment with more safety. Something she focuses on building as a leader. Everything Marina does as a leader is about communication and putting her metaphorical arm around others - creating those safe spaces. For her, open dialogue is the vital to connection, understanding and safety. This relates practically in terms of meetings, offsites, personality testing – she wants to tune in and read individuals and help bring them together.

This special bonus episode gives you an enhanced short talk from the launch of the 2024 State of Leadership in Technology research. For the research, Conscious Leaders set out to find out what leaders think of their own leadership capacity. We invited over 200 leaders in tech to self-assess against these vital leadership traits. Furthermore, we ran two leadership roundtables with participants in London and Bristol to digest the data further and provide commentary on the findings. Listen for a revealing look about what leaders think of themselves compared to employees and we dive into subjects such as tech failure attrition rates psychological safety leaders looking after themselves You can download the research itself at www.consciousleaders.org.uk/research .…

Darren has a background in sport which means he brings a rallying, motivational energy but one that is inclusive – he wants people to be involved and aligned so they can move as a team.

Quite often family businesses do not make big leaps but my interviewee Harry Singer bucks the trend with Singer Instruments. Harry grew up with business deeply in his upbringing as the 3rd generation to run his business. His family holidays were usually centred around a scientific conference and he thrived being ale to take part in his father’s work from the age of 6. What comes across strongly is how much Harry cares about the wider personal and professional lives of his employees. He shares his journey of stepping back and taking ‘Surf’s up’ days to support his wellbeing so he can return to bringing a positive energy to the business. You will take away: How a deep care for employees translates into day to day support How the senior team staged an ‘intervention’ with Harry and got him to step back into a CEO role and created a new MD position An effective decision-making framework ‘Surf’s up’ days and the effect on Harry’s wellbeing _________________________ Harry Singer is CEO at Singer Instruments .

Emily comes across as a very calm, measured, and humble CEO – one that does not feel that we need unnecessary pressure. She is committed to connecting with employees and organically growing their business in sustainable ways. She attributes a lot of stability in her childhood to the resilience of her mother who always worked full time, did a PhD part-time and travelled around the world sharing her research. Consequently, Emily always had a strong belief in herself. She feels lucky that being a woman in tech never got in her way. In the early days, Emily was very much a ‘number two’ – a supporter to her husband as they grew their software development business, Ghyston. She focused on bringing up their 3 children and worked part-time in the business. But a time came when her husband had an opportunity outside of Ghyston. Emily decided to step up to the CEO role but she was determined to do it her own way moving from 3-3.5 days a week! Indeed, she wants her employees to have a sustainable lifestyle, one that enables sustainable growth in business too. She is now 4 days a week and I would say, it feels central to her success. You will take away: How to run a ‘dinner forum’ to gain participation from employees How to balance as a part-time CEO The company holiday and blending work and life outside of work Leading with flexibility Profit-sharing with employees…
Welcome to the 2023 Conscious Leaders Podcast Highlights Episode. If you don’t know me already, I’m your host, Founder of Conscious Leaders, Ruth Farenga. Quite apparently to us all, 2023 has been a year where all the implications have joined into a perfect storm. A year when we desperately need great leaders to look up to and help us navigate a path. And, leaders have continued to step up - and I have been there to hunt them down and hack into their brains so you can learn from their philosophy and practice. Personally, 2023 has been the year I have been settling in Stroud near Bristol having moved here a year ago. It is not easy meeting people somewhere new but I am starting to feel a bit more at home having made a few friends, gone to some gigs and moved into a co-working space called Spacehoppers. If you’re in or near Stroud in the UK – come visit – it’s a great home from home as an office space. Besides the usual coaching programmes for leaders, 2023 has been the year that we released the Next Level Leadership Scorecard – a free tool that accompanies the Next Level leadership book to allows you to benchmark yourself against the top nine traits and behaviours of great people leaders. The ones featured in the book. Go to our consciousleaders.org.uk and register for emails if you want to hear more. We are also collecting data for a ‘State of Leadership in tech’ report to be released in 2024….so if you’re a senior leader in technology or you know one – help us by asking them to complete. Visit consciousleaders.org.uk for more info. Right ok, enough of all of that - onto our podcast highlights for 2023!…

Melanie has always been an achiever. She rose through the ranks of young innovative companies and then to a big role at Google before arriving at LinkedIn as a Senior Product Director. Her story is full of highs and lows. When COVID hit she went through her own burnout, realising that her own striving was a way of finding her own safety (having experienced a lack of safety for part of her childhood). Emerging from this low, she was able to get support and rebuild a robust structure for her wellbeing. She shares in detail how she protects her mental health through strong boundaries. She has been on a journey of living her values which are; ‘live with balance’, ‘lift others up’ and ‘realise my visions’. When asked to present about herself and her strategy at interview for LinkedIn, she led with these values and how they support herself and those around her. In terms of team support, she is keen that people she works with develop personalised plans around ‘what builds them up, drains them and their ultimate career aspirations’. All with the goal of creating meaning for what they are doing now (as opposed to always wishing you were promoted to the next level). You will take away: Generating value and meaning beyond work Dealing with burnout Developing individualised plans for both performance and wellbeing with team members ‘Project Castle’ – her vision for a future outside of technology…
Tom Hall has had a host of leadership roles in publishing and education and now works as GM at Lego International Education where he is a stand out leader in corporate. He is a huge advocate of cultivating more presence in his leadership and he explains how he consciously works on that through strong intention, meditation, and exercise. He is also keen to open himself up to his team and did that quite explicitly through running an offsite at his home comprising downtime, business strategy and time with clients. He finds that intentional face to face time creates much more connections and upfront, constructive work conversations.
