437: How to lead yourself before leading others - with Riunita Martin

Picture this: You get promoted. Suddenly, you’re responsible for a team. The decisions come faster. The expectations get bigger. And people want answers... even when you’re still figuring things out yourself. You might not have received much training on how to lead people. But before you look for a quick fix, my guest today says there’s another question that deserves your attention: Who are you becoming as a leader? You say you value honesty, but what happens when telling the truth might upset your boss? You want your team to speak up, but how do you respond when someone challenges you? Those moments tell people whether they can trust you.

436: How to develop future-ready leaders - with Dr Kevin Fleming

What’s the old career advice you’d get? Choose a path. Work hard. Move up. Stay there. But for the next generation of leaders, my special guest today thinks that careers may look less like climbing a ladder and more like rock climbing... moving sideways, changing direction, and finding a new route when the old one no longer works. AI is changing jobs. Career paths are becoming less predictable. And the skills that helped someone land their first role may not be the same skills they’ll need five years from now. So, how do we prepare emerging leaders for a future that none of us can fully predict?

435: How to stop chasing & start creating at work - with Justin Jones-Fosu

You can be dependable, hardworking, and successful at what you do… and still feel unseen. You keep delivering. Keep saying yes. Keep chasing the next goal, the next bit of recognition, or the next sign that your work matters. But when does meaningful work become chasing approval? And what does that cost you as a leader?

432: How to build a leadership legacy - with Rhoda Banks

Think about the leaders who’ve shaped you. Some made you feel seen, supported, and capable of more. Others left you questioning yourself long after you stopped working with them. Because every leader leaves something behind. A mark. Or a scar. Your leadership legacy isn’t simply what you accomplish or the results you deliver. It’s the imprint you leave on people and how they feel, perform, and lead others after you’re no longer in the room. But we don’t lead from a blank slate. We bring our experiences, beliefs, fears, and personal stories into every decision we make. Sometimes, that “inside stuff” shows up in ways we never intended. So, how can you become more intentional about what your leadership will be known for?

Let’s talk about your career. Because for a lot of people right now, work feels shaky. Maybe you’ve been laid off, applied for dozens of jobs with no response, or you’re quietly wondering whether your current career path still makes sense. The rules have changed. AI is reshaping jobs. Hiring technology is filtering candidates before a human ever sees them. And the traditional corporate ladder feels more and more, totally and utterly disconnected from reality. So, how do you stay grounded through the uncertainty? And how do you build a career that can evolve with you?
